I would try this. DON'T glue the seal in the block, nor in the cap. Only glue bottom and sides of seal retainer. Seal joints 90* from retainer surface. Never had one leak done this way. And of course I HATE to ask an obvious question.....but you are turning the lip on the seal the right way?


Monte, So you turn the seal 90* so the seam/parting line will be at the 12 0'clock and 6 o'clock position? I am willing to try anything at this point but fail to see how this helps.

The seal lips are facing inward-believe me when I first took it apart I was hoping I had it backwards for an easy explanation. Thanks though, J.Rob
