It has a tendon on one side that fits in rectangular slot. My gasket it only on opposite side from tendon. causing it to tilt when screwed down.Thus piston don't contact ball | | | | | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,504 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,504 | I think the "bracket" you're referring to is called something like the "main well housing."
If so, yes, mine had a gasket underneath it. Didn't have the fitment issue you describe.

If the wrong gasket is used it will tip the housing so the power valve piston will not hit the power valve ball in the center.
