I've a got an issue with my 140mm travel Pike fork which has recently been fitted with a 2012 Moco RLT Damper from a Revelation. I have fitted the damper adding 123ml of 5wt oil to the upper compression leg (from the Sram service manuals). I am only getting approximately 40mm of travel before the forks become extremely hard (feels like they are bottoming out but no where near full travel). I am unable to compress the forks past this point (95mm on the u-turn marks). I have no idea what is causing this issue, can anyone shed any light into the situation

probably blocking a port somewhere? is it an internal or external travel adjust? I've got an older revelation with internally adjustable travel. the order you put stuff back together makes a difference.
I have U-turn Travel adjust on the fork. Do you think that this could be the issue
possibly. i'm not sure how the new damper unit varies from the older one, same with the u-turn functionality. when i put together something and it doesn't work, i take it apart and put it back together, making sure i do everything in the instructions in order and to a T. SRAM actually has pretty detailed instructions on their website in the technical service area, would be worth a look to start there.
Had a similar issue with my lyric.
The problem was that the oil from the upper compression damper leaked down into the rebound damper and caused the fork to lock up 1/3 of way through the travel.
Drain the oil from the lower leg and if there is way too much you have your answer.
