The pettit unit has kind of weak cap neck and sometimes it bends and leak. I had one that leaked and I blame a little for my engine overheating and killing my engine.
I just had to buy another AST because my other AST's neck got bent out fo shape and wouldn't seal well. I wish I knew about these "billet necked" AST 's before I bought another one.

The TRIPOINT unit is very well made. I picked one of these up, it is extremely solid and high quality.
