Don't over-tighten, but don't leave it too loose either. I was worried about over-tightening mine -- apparently, 3000psi of oil will take its toll on an O-ring if any at all gets by it. It was almost gone by the time realized it was leaking and replaced it. I ended up putting quite a bit of tourque on mine. Don't remember how much, but it was TIGHT.

Good point. I tightened mine down pretty tight as well. Oh, make sure you check it every few months, seems like mine likes to vibrate a bit and I can usually give er' a crank now and then to snug her up.

Use the removable lock tight that is recommended it will insure no leaks. I did not the first time around.
