Would there not be a space between the head and the liner after pinching?
Not trying to create an argumentative debate, as in "theory" it shouldn't work. If the liner is malleable enough to pinch it should be malleable enough to expand and deform back into the pinch cavity against the block. But.. As many in the real world say, it works, so I am genuinely interested in what people have experienced.
