Mike B Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Has anyone had any and success in using sealant to seal the oil feeds on single turbos. Mine uses an alloy fitting and I'm not wanting to really tighten it up to hard as I have stripped threads before.. and it's no fun! any sealant suggestions greatfully received, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Loctite Hydraulic Seal or a few wraps of PTFE tape, Loctite is best you don't really want the risk of bits of tape in the oil system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
