EK G92 waterblock fitting ? !!

[jtf2]

hello.
i received in the mail today from ppcs.com
this block
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=240&products_id=23001
it came with the plugs and 2 of these spacers for use with the barbs

are these spacers also needed for the plugs?,
i have fitted the plugs in,and they seem to be sealed okay,but i just want to make sure

no the spacers are only for the barbs

The spacers are only needed on the fittings/plugs that are threaded into the copper portion of the block. Fittings that are threaded into the acrylic/acetal top don't need the spacers. (basically, the spacers are there to stop the threaded portion of a fitting from obstructing the coolant flow path)

*edit* Only with the old EK plugs could you get away with not using the spacers--the threaded portion of the newer plugs is about the same length as on a standard EK fitting, IIRC.
