I ordered a new Strut Valve for the Nose Gear on my 140 (AN6287-1) rated for 3,000 PSI. This Valve is different than the one that was previously removed from one of the main gear struts that is rated for 1,500 PSI.

The 1500 PSI Valve has a crush washer with it. The 3000 PSI Valve did not come with a crush washer and the rubber O-Ring is in a different location. Will I need a crush washer or will the o-ring being in a different place seal the valve? Pictures attached.
