Default Problem with DD TDX design

I took my system apart to modify(hopefully for the better)a number of it's parts. My DD Brass top, copper bottom TDX has never been opened. As I looked into the inlet barb It looked like a worm had taken up residence! As I removed the top to serve an eviction notice, I saw the problem. Danger Den uses an oval shaped foam gasket to hold pressure against the removable nozzle plate. The gasket has a "peel and stick" surface that mates to one side of the nozzle. Then you place the assembly into a recess in the bottom half of the block, then put the top half of the block on with four allen head bolts. I am now concerned with the design of the "replaceable nozzle plates". It appears to me the foam is not dense enough and during the few months it was in use the gasket slid over and blocked a large portion of the inlet directly above the jets!
My system: Modified DDC-12 pump - TDX - DDMaze4 low profile Acetal GPU - BIE 2 - modified Angel Eye Res - back to pump. Using Fluid XP and 1/2" ID tubing.

This really stinks because now I don't feel comfortable using this block. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
