Thanks for this info! the block is flat, with the tubes coming out of it. One side of the comp was machined to provide a relief for the washer (oring). The other was 2-3 times as deep, and I had nothing in the sack to match it. The second round is supposed to be a reman, I figure if it's a reman, It's been in use before. We shall see, it's supposed to be in today. Thanks again!
