I put teflon tape on mine, and if it fucks something up oh well, I don't expect the motor to see 2005.

You can use teflon tape on everything, I do. just remember to keep it a thread from the end so pieces wont fall off and go through the turbo or whatever.

Don't ever use teflon on -AN fittings...it causes more problems than you think it solves...

I used teflon tape on my t-stat housing, worked for about 3 months, and then started leaking again... :-\

they also have teflon paste. it works better than the tape when it comes to fine threads. 98ctr

ps: its about $2.50 at the hardware store. 98ctr
