    I have this type of old school ballcock in my toilet... I know I should
    replace it but if I can just fix it then I would much rather do that than
    spend any money at all! This was exactly the problem in my toilet with the
    water constantly running and driving me crazy! The simple adjustment of the
    level (only a centimeters) completely stopped that water drip. I do,
    however, notice that there are bubble coming out the bottom of the "cock"
    part of the ballcock. Normal? My other toilets don't do it.

    The hell with that!! I'd rather replace it with a Fluidmaster 400LS or 400A
    fill valve.

    If you bend the bar UP, the float will have to be even higher to cause the
    valve to close. You should adjust the set screw on the ballcock valve, or
    if that is not possible, you should bend the bar DOWN so that the float
    closes the valve when the water level is still below the level of the
    overflow tube.

    Why are you bending the rod when there is an adjustment screw? That said
    that type of ballcock is junk I would put in a new Fluidmaster 400A and a
    new flapper and be done with it!
