Phillbo...It's not making a lot of noise...it's the same as it was before. The pressure had decreased by about 2-4 lbs. Not much.
The new basket fits exactly as the old one.
I think I'll pick up a new lid just in case. It looks like it's in great condition but when I had the stethescope near the top it was hissy-er.
Maybe just because of the air bubble in the pot...not really sure.
Gah! Makes me nuts.
