Need some help please, decalsified the HX and boiler and replaced a leaky gasket that was hissing on the relieve valve on top of the boiler on my Isomac Tea. The gasket is a little thicker than the original i had in my tool box but the pin on the valve appears it can still move up/down and now i am getting vapor lock most of the time after i turn the machine on, i know i can open the steam valve a bit and the boiler pressure needle will drop to zero then climb back to 1.2 and then machine will function properly.

How can i permanently eliminate vapor locking ?

Thanks, WS

I have the one on the left which i had removed to add the washer and wiped the valve down but i guess it time for a new valve, a new one is pretty in-expensive. Do you know if the valve on the right from CC comes with a new gasket ?

Thanks, WS
