Glad that you got it figured out Matt, as I mentioned, I was pretty sure that was your problem after you mentioned that you reused the original o-ring and it was blue. Once those o-rings compress, and the seal is broken, it is highly unlikely that they will seal again. Not to mention, many guys have reported problems when trying to use the blue o-ring, brand new

You should give them a call or send Matt@TSP a PM...they may not be aware of the issues that guys have seen with the blue O-ring.
