Should there be a gab between the cover and the base of the SLS pump? I rebuilt this, can't remember if there was a gab before... But I don't see any way to have them flush together?

I believe yes. Do a parts look up on our sponsors site to see an image of the pump.

Good luck!!!

Oh my! That's funny. There should be a copper or aluminum sealing washer on the top and bottom of the banjo, and the bolt should snug down. What you have there is a fountain.

gab? > perhaps gap?

To answer the question that was asked: "Should there be a gab between the cover and the base of the SLS pump?", yes, there is a gap.
