Default What thread sealant do I use for oil lines?

Hey,

Just wondering what sealant to use for the threads on my oil lines from the back pressure sender port to my head, gauge sender and turbo.

Will Hondabond work or do I need something a little harder holding?

Thanks

Hondabond or any high temp silicone gasket maker is fine. You can also just use some teflon tape/paste on threaded connections, but I tend to prefer the silicone stuff. Just don't use it on any AN threads, since those fittings use their taper to seal.
