Ah, thanks. That will help my order tomorrow...

It took 3 months to understand the nuances of the mrod, I guess I can expect as much on the prod...

Excellent information!

My PROD was built in 2019, so it still has the old steel gauge block with tapered threads.

In my case, I had the 113 orings from my Mrod and installed the valve and gauge blocks again. Since my gauge was fried (leaked), I installed a big ole one from my hand pump just to test. Rock solid now. Instead of ordering a new gauge block with the oring, I'll just try to source a better quality gauge and call it a day. I think someone above mentioned getting a nicer one from McMaster Carr, so I'll look into that.

Thanks, everyone!
