Newly overhauled tr-3. Wrapped the oil pan plug with teflon tape and
tightened up to what felt solid. It's been leading while just sitting over
winter. Have a dinner plate size oil puddle at least. I purchased the Moss
ball valve type spigot to install so I won't need to bother the threads in the
future. I'd like to get a good tight seal on the valve. Looking for
suggestions on what to use for a good oil blocking seal. Just wrap with
thicker and thicker teflon tape? Is there a plumbers putty/caulk that might
work. If so does plumbers stuff work ok with the engine heat?
Just wondering
