Correct. I put the pipe thread sealant in the bore of the valve spigot. The t=
hreads don=E2=80=99t need sealant.

Interesting, John. I would have said the opposite. Pipe threads =
generally need sealant, I thought. I use TPFE pipe dope and stay away =
from the tape where  passages may get fouled by little strings that tear =
off (thank you Randall, may you rest in peace). I have had issues with =
new petcocks leaking which I solved by taking them apart, cleaning the =
bore really well and then polishing the cone. I seem to remember I put =
it in the drill press and used 2000 grit wet sand paper to achieve a =
very smooth surface. So far, so good.

have noticed a small coolant leak from my TR3 and have traced it to the =
