    That is true, without a doubt. What I am saying is in addition to that.

    Aluminum will expand more than brass when heated. There will be a gap created between the nozzle and the heat break when heat is applied. The block is a coupler, yes, but it is also a shrink fitting by default.

    Thermal expansion is fun. ;)
