Thanks Fred, looks like I'm on the tight side but I am positive it rotated exactly the same as it did with tht gasket in it. I was quite afraid of binding so I was playing close attention to how it felt turning with my fingers. Oh, and I didn't mention it before, but I snuck a 1/4" flat washer (quite a thin one) into the cap before the spring. My dad was an insurance broker, as is my younger daughter so I've gotten a few earfuls about the importance of good insurance over the years.......
