They make a liquid teflon tape. I dont know the brand but my friend uses it on his outlaw pro street car and thats with a 737 sonny leonard motor so it should work for you.
Loctite PST 567. Best sealant out for threads. Works great on Stainless, stainless galls and locks up.
Sure, the rear soft plugs were drilled and tapped one was pluged the other used as a seep for an oil gauge. On the first start up one used as a seep leaked.
Are you referring to the threaded oil galley plugs at the rear of the block on each side of the camshaft? They're not originally pressed in plugs like the front; they're tapped for pipe thread from the factory. Is the fitting used for the oil pressure port a 90 elbow? If so, it may not be sealing well because it needs to be further tightened, but the problem there is that it won't end up pointing in the right direction afterwards. Assuming I understood the issue, personally I'd be tempted to use an epoxy as a permanent thread sealer. I'll defer to others first because there may be some other thread sealants out there that can do a good job on a pipe thread that's not fully tightened. Devon
On steel to steel I use a copper based pipe dope. Thread sealant/anti seize. On everything else I use a teflon dope from home depot... Npt and its leaking? Tighten more
Clean the fitting and where it goes VERY clean; Wire brush and use a solvent like acetone or lacquer thinner to remove ALL contamination. Use PST (pipe sealant with teflon). It is even available in small tubes at most auto parts stores. I never use teflon tape; it has tendancy to shread and leave strands exactly where you DON'T need them, like under the needle in the seat of carburetor, or restricting a small orifice in a cup plug in a transmission shift kit. Also, there are products like Loctite Form-A-Thread; It worked when I stripped out most of the threads on the high pressure head on my pressure washer. If you require a specific position on the fitting, and it leaks because you have to go past that location to tighten enough to seal, that is what I recommend. Follow the directions exactly, and you'll be able to remove the fitting at a later time.
Yes, that's the issue. I'm thinking of going to flexable copper for the line out and JB Weld on the elbow with PST on the other joints. Thanks for all the Help!
