I decided to go ahead and put this on today only to try twice and Can not get it to stop leaking where the adapter goes into the head.
I made sure the old seal was out, cleaned around new correct seal in and tightened it pretty tight, they say 17lbs of torque which is not allot, I am pretty sure I am there or more.
Then I thought maybe i have it on wrong but it can only mount one way.
I re checked the instructions, made sure I had the correct ring ( it comes with 2 sizes, mine is Purolator style).
Have any of you ran into this installing one?
The rubber sealing ring seams more like hard plastic than rubber like an O ring, and wonder why that is?
