Wasn't "oiling" them to keep the leather diaphram(sp) from shrinking/drying? Should/would it be necessary with todays plastic/neoprene parts?

I tore one apart the other day and all the oil in the world wouldn;t have helped. The plastic diaphragm was all chewed up from the dirt getting in it form the dirt dauber nests in the cylinder

Whenever this stuff dries out it cracks and wears.Believe me rubber grease all neoprene where you can -even the new sulphur less diesel swells and cracks the "O" rings
