well i have a oil drain flange that i got with my stealthmode kit and the lil brass fitting that is suposed to screw into it only screws in about 1 turn then stops...is this normal it seems like it would leak to me

thanks

 

It should go on further than that, are you hand tightening it?

 

its a flared NPT thread, its supposed to get tighter and tighter as you screw it in, and yes they dont thread very far.

 

oh alright so im not stripping it or anything...im just affraid to go any farther lol

 

specially when you tork it to 13ft/lb :1
:P

 

I've never had a barb fitting screw completely into the drain flange. I put assembly lube on the threads and as it's installed on the turbo I'll turn it to get at least 3 threads (which you shouldn't have a problem getting). I've wrenched on a couple of them before without issues, but if you've got at least 3 you're fine.
