[QUOTE="Tiha, post: 1561152, member: 33189"] I tried to install the pedestal only last night with plasti gauge under it, but could not find my plasti gauge. Wanting to try and see something I used a piece of masking tape. Torqued the pedestal down. Removed and read the tape impression. Where it is marked in red I tried to capture it on camera, the line for the o-ring recess disappears. It gets lighter on the return line side, but on the pressure side it completely disappears. Thinking about what to do from here. Order another one from someone? who? Or try to fix this one? No idea yet. I think my next step is to set it down on a piece of glass, or mirror if I can find one big enough. Maybe try to fit a feeler gauge under it, see if I can measure the difference. Then mill the outer legs down until it sits evenly on the glass? What I don't know is if the mounting points on the block and pedestal are supposed to be the same elevation or not. If they are, then drop the whole thing on a big belt sander, or mill it to the same elevation. If not, then it is trial and error. Even was thinking about installing the o-ring, the smearing a thin coat of JB weld around them. Install pedestal and Let it set up. The JB weld would fill the gap and support the o-rings. Maybe that would fix it? [/QUOTE]
