Yeah, that's right, I had to use a hose clamp...thought that was kinda ad hoc...as well, the neck where the valve is smaller than the stock one...I was worried that it wouldn't form a good tight seal so I wrapped it in teflon to increase the diameter...I didn't like how it wobbled so loosely.
As well, I had heck of a hard time getting of the plastic cap on valve...when I finally yanked it off, the tiny metal cap that keeps the valve in place popped right off! Argh, more time spent wasting trying to get the metal cap back on! :angry:
And there were no new o rigns or whatsoever...I ended up using the stock o-ring.
I hope I did everything right...the pump appears to work @ idle (haven't driven it yet).
Is it normal that the pump makes a funky whirring noise?? :o
