just one last question!! sorry about this all, but you guys are so 
knowledgable!

the old cap had the centre machined out of it...there was a perfect 
circle missing from the old cap.
now, this cant be right...what might have caused this? it wont do much 
good to put the new cap in and have it machined out again... :(

someone mentioned they had this happen to them, any fixes for it?

thanks,
rhys
