thats not a leak. That just wasnt connected. lol

I assure you, it's connected, and the fittings are tightened down well. I belive it was mis-machined at the factory. No matter what I do, it has two pinhole leaks on the inlet and purge port.

What type of sealer did you use on the threads?

That doesn't look too good , I would guess he used paste on the fittings since hes been running nitrous for awhile, I had a leak on my main 16ft. line it got pitched or something and leaked like crazy.

Teflon paste. Let it cure over night as well. I'm going to try Loctite after a few recommendations on LS1tech.

You should be good with paste, I have used tape and thread sealer on some parts and never had problems aslong as you put it up high on the threads and it doesn't get sucked in and clog a jet or filter. I agree def. let it sit over night, I do on most of the sealants and agsket makers I use , esp. for the oil pan and intake mani's. Use blue loctite med. not the red if you going to use loctite.

Re: Ya'll ain't gonna believe this ****.

you shouldn't need to run teflon paste and its strongly discouraged by all nitrous kit manufacturer's. pipe thread should be self sealing and so should AN fittings. i think you need parts replaced.

Re: Ya'll ain't gonna believe this ****.

instead of tape try liquid thread lock. You can get it from any home improvement place. It works into the treads better than tape. It's a lot better I think. I used that stuff for my bathroom remodel and I was sold on it. I was also told by a guy I used to work with that tape is the worst thing you can use. He was a pipe fitter for 25 years...

I was under the impression that paste was ok, and tape was bad. I agree that the parts should be replaced. It's the solenoid, as no matter which way I run the fittings, it leaks in the same location.

I have loctite sitting in my toolbox waiting to be put to good use. However, I haven't even touched the car in nearly two weeks. After all the bull**** with my trailer, working 70 hours a week, and finishing the garage, racings been on the back burner.

Re: Ya'll ain't gonna believe this ****.

yes use paste and not tape on pipe thread. AN fittings should not need anything.

Re: Ya'll ain't gonna believe this ****.

Is it the crimp connection on the line itself leaking? Mine did the same on the bottle side! Ended up needing to have a new connector put on the one side!!
