1. hi: may I concentrate on the washer on said model ? Its copper you see. And here's the thing: its not symetrical : I dont mean warped, I mean its concave (on one side, and er, convex on the other). Ok, so far we are doing splendidly well. Now, which way do I put it: a) like St. Pauls (dome on top, whispering gallery below), or b) an alien spaceship crater (with no spaceship) (if my block is not cracked, and it may well be I know, then I am gonna fix this leak by getting specific with a few mil. of copper) 2. I wonder why they switched from fibre to copper, I fancy giving the fibre a go just for fun. And, I think I goofed with the dowty washer and o-ring idea. It all sounded very nive, but they have rubber in them, so I have been told that's mad. Waddya think ? (thanks for sticking with this - I need all the help I can get) love tom
