I used teflon tape on some fittings, but was told that it wasn't needed with the brass fittings. It they leak, tighten them up I was told.17thAirborne wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:17 pmSo the question now...teflon tape or permatex to seal?

Hi OZ
That is all correct all the oil hose fitting on the block well done.
I don't use any glue. If the hose fitting is glue on the block and next 3/5 years the hose breaks and then you will have trouble getting the fitting out and may snap the fittings. It happen on 2 of my fittings they snap.
If theirs is any leaks just use Teflon tape like Zep said.
Cheers Peter
