I just picked up barrels and they worked fine. Got them at a local supply house made by Radiator Specialty ... The one you are trying to repair? Is it possible that it leaked below the barrel seat?
if so the faucet is shot.

Maybe some kind of smoutch on the barrel seat will do it if it's not too bad.

I couldnt get the stem to even screw in the seat....I dont know if a new stem and seat together would fit the valve body alright..23-0900 5 5/8 stem ?? This one looks like it...I dont know if anyone has tried this and its a waste of time.

I had a couple faucets back a few months ago and had hell trying to find seats that would work....I tried like 10-15 and they would just spin in the body. Tried stacking the brass washers and that didn't work either.............finally found some old dusty stock that worked............lost my butt on those 2 jobs. A couple would not screw into the seat either.

Good Luck!

Oh ok so you never even got it together with new parts...the old stem would not fit the barrel. Yeah I believe that. Ok get the complete stem and seat....you should be fine. I've replaced alot of those.

That was the problem I was having.......the new barrels that came with new stems would not seat properly....they would just spin. I hope you have much better luck than I.

Why not tell cust. that valve is not able to be repaired (after exausting all options to repair) and put in a nice new one? I mean I like to repair valves also, but you can't spend 7 or 8 hours just trying to locate parts. Are you billing for all this time?
By the way, did you remove old cap thread gaskets? If old cap thread gaskets aren't removed, new stems won't seat fully against seat. This happened to me with a Kohler tub valve.
