I've got a Speco oil filter sandwich plate installed in the BA xr6t. The plate has an oil temp sensor and then a few plugs to fill the remaining 1/8 npt ports.The plugs are all leaking slowly. Plugs were pre-installed and look like they had a little sealant on them. Any preferences for particular thread sealants or tapes? Personally I'm not that keen on the tape idea, especially on these tiny things but happy to be persuaded otherwise. Interesting that the plugs leak but the sensor doesn't - might be that some good quality plugs in that size will help.

Stag jointing paste does everything and I have had good results with it.https://www.autobarn.com.au/stag-jointing-paste-200-gram-tube-sg200 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91439-thread-sealant/#findComment-1572118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
