Just got into the AFC and noticed there was no plate. The breakoff screw had been removed and plate taken out. My intentions were to install the #10 plate w/ 3k gsk. SHould I even install the #10 or just leave it like it is w/ out a plate at all?

Hands still greasy and I'd like to get it together tonight, advice appreciated.

 

Put a plate in. Without it you risk damaging the entire pump.

 

My sentiments exactly

better to be safe with a plate than sorry without. Although some have gotten away with running no plate at all...

Why risk it? when a 0 plate has almost the same effect
