Can you post a pic of the one your have so we can see.

Edit; Gasket sealer??? You don't use gasket sealer on fuel systems unless this is something supplied by the manufacturer. Secondly, if there's a O ring then torque has nothing to do with the sealing, that's taken care of by the O ring.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Umm cheap eh? No bargain if it doesn't work right or isn't configured to work on your car. Return it and by one from Cosmo. The FRP is a pretty important item. I just directed another member to buy a Cosmo one and he said there was a definite improvement in the higher RPM range on his ZE. Set it to 45PSI.
