is this how the cps is supposed to sit on head?

No.. Thats a rubber o ring that has seen heat every day for years. Rubber does get hard from heat you know.

What you're missing is the step of removing the old o ring. Trust me, I had to fight to get that thing off, and IIRC it cracked in half, rather than slid off the shaft.

wow i feel like an idiot:nono::nono:, I just went out and got it out with a flathead and it did crack in 3 pieces. finally i got it on thanks guys.

X2. Least he fessed up. Gotta give him credit for that

OP: Now you know why I made a gasket. Used the side of a beer carton iirc. Never leaked again...
