I bought some permatex form a gasket. I found that as I was torquing her down into the fuel pump that the female threads of the fuel pump casting was cracked -- probably where the leak was coming from in the first place.Lucky I have one on order arriving today...
anyone know how much you should torque these things as not to repeat the same mistake twice?
I would shug it up to the point that it feels secure and does not leak, then maybe an extra 1/4 turn.
its tapered thread... so snug but not wicked tight.
otherwise, crrrrack goes the casting?
