The seal is minimal cost. If it leaks, it's a PITA to remove and replace from scratch. Quote:
The tip of the bolt doesn't get hot, unless you're using acetylene... Also, the o-ring doesn't do that much sealing - the threadlocker + copper washer do more than an adequate job of keeping the oil from seeping outside the engine. Copper washers...I just reanneal and reuse. ![]() Quote:
Needless to state that the bolt flange needs to be clean and inspected to be free of damage? Else, any RTV would work... I usually have copper or red hi-temp stuff, so that's what I'll use. Gray will work. (I don't like the blue stuff.) -Ted |
