Sounds like a mishitmoto sandwich plate. Good thing it didn't fail while driving and dump all your oil out on the road

Did you put a little oil on the o-ring/gasket before you tightened it down?
I didn't use thread sealant on the AN fittings, but I used a compound (I hate the tape) in all the bspt and npt fittings. It worked so well that it sealed a bspt->npt junction with no leaks (they're similar at that size but not exact). If you go that route make sure to get one rated to the temperature and pressure that you'll expect to see Last edited by dts3; 04-27-2020 at 11:07 AM. |

Thanks for all the help everyone! I think everything is good to go!
 I cleaned everything off and checked all the fittings and everything looks good now. I took it out for a test drive after everything was done and I didn't see any oil on it afterwards. Still going to keep checking it and doing some more hard runs next weekend to verify but knock on wood I think it's good. I also made a block off plate (75% blocked off) because it's still a little chilly and it really helped get the temps up.

Great to hear! Don't forget ab the oil pressure gauge. A good one (Defi, 150 psi) will run you 200-300. A new engine will be substantially more.
