The first time I assembled it I did not know how to use the plastic sleeves to ensure proper seating of the tubes. So a few days ago I dropped the gearcase down to recheck and use the sleeves as intended. I think it was OK before but I’m confident now.

I think the parts in the plastic box are properly assembled. Water seems to come out of the telltale at a reasonable, regulated temperature. Sometimes it takes a minute for the system to fill and pressurize.

In the water later this week. I intent to keep a close eye on that telltale.

Is there a particular pressure I could look for with a gauge?

Thanks!
