when installing i researched on here everyones opinions on teflon tape, hondabond, liquid teflon, etc. i ended up using liquid teflon, and it began to leak from the bspt adapter from the block when i first started the car yesterday. i took it all apart, and am debating just to put hondabond on it. i read a few opinions on it messing up the threads, but i just want to fix it properly. opinions please.
i need this fixed before tuning on friday....
thanx.

i've had 0 leakage at any of my regular teflon'ed connections

have you tried regular teflon?

no, only cause it's such an awkward place, but maybe i'll go that route. you recommend over hondabond?

ok,
hondabond-1
teflon-1

I think both could work, but I'd probably go with the teflon tape myself.

I know this is not what you are asking BUT the Golden Eagle sandwich adapters work the best. If you can afford to invest in one they are about $85ish plus you get filtered oil to the turbo.

Just a suggestion.

I never ever had problems with the oil sending unit hole and the T fitting though, I always used Teflon tape with no issues

Good luck

well, i put it back together about an hour ago. i went w/ hondabond. if it leaks again, then teflon tape it'll be. i am running a line to the firewall btw, not a "t" off the block.
yeah, back when i was gathering parts(2 yrs ago), i had looked at the sandwich adapters. i can't really say why i chose this route. i never gave the filtered thing a thought....
i guess i learned something, thanx for all the help.
