Is there and dents/damage to the male end where it seals right on the tip?



No, I had to pull the pump a few times because it is a pos B.G. that kept spawning leaks and figured it was worn fittings causing the leak so I replaces them both with brand new Earls fittings. I have been after drips in this area all last summer between the pump and these fittings I am ready to just drop a match. How hard can you torque these things? I am hesitant to put too much pressure with them being made of aluminum, and yes I have the correct aluminum wrenches for the fittings.
