This is getting to be no fun at all. It has now been a little over a Month and they are starting to leak again. It is a very small leak so far. I used RTV Copper, it looked like a great seal and now here we go again. There were no scratches or anything in the holes. I dried it very well.

I still find it strange how loose they fit in the holes and then the O Rings flatten out. The engine is staying perfectly within the proper heat range.

Any other ides???

Thanks,

J

When in doubt, use more goop.

You could apply some extra to the elbows after they are installed.

Do you think that would seal now without taking them off again?

Thanks,

It can't hurt. Just make sure everything is dry before applying.
