We assume of course that you had the high side handwheel closed when you did this test

Wow, YJ is supposed to be better than that. I have 3 manifolds, and one is a YJ, never had problems. Maybe someone borrowed it and over tightened the hand wheels, ruining the seats, or maybe it got connected to a system that had sealer and it hardened up inside the manifold, not allowing the seats to seat properly
