    Thanks. I also assumed it just fit tightly together, and maybe mine is slightly odd. Let me know if you guys see the same thing.

    I would have never noticed until I made the thin washer, took out the perimeter washer and tried a dry fit out. I expected the washer to make it rock heavily on the center column, but suprisingly it did very little. That's when I started using the straight edge to compare. The top block seems to have a flush center to outside extension, but the middle block is off as you can see. The middle block does seem to have a very slight bow to it, which may be from the washer being there a while, but it's still fairly flat on the bottom, but the top has this gap on the center.

    I suppose you could even cut a small groove in there for a larger o-ring to fit nicely.

    Anyhow, my gain was probably more pronounced because of the nozzle creating all the extra resistance, but I would think you'll see some improvement regardless.

    I have not contacted D-tek, this is probably just a small tolerance they built into the block to ensure the perimeter seal gets fully compressed. Anyhow, just curious if you guys are seeing the same thing, try that seal test next time you take the block apart. Cover the hole with one finger and blow through it...that little washer makes a huge difference on mine.
