I certainly don't want something dripping into the crankcase that could do harm. What do I use to insure a good, tight, long term seal? thanx | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | try to spread the end slightly first, it was originally a press fit and likely got scrunched a bit by removal

Blue (med stregnth) locktite or locktite pipe sealant w/ teflon (like the tape only liquid in a tube) will give an tight seal to the block.
