Guys,

My oil sandwhich plate keeps on leaking. I used the supplied conical bolts to block two ends.

The conical bolts should be enough isn't it? No washers or anything?

As it's alu i think the bolts are quite tight already?

Anybody had the same? How to solve?

 

is it a tapered thread?

 

Would PTFE Tape sort that or would the oil destroy it?

 

Yes, this is what i tried to say with "conical bolts"

Sorry i'm dutch!

 

Ptfe tape will sort it and it will last in till you remove the bolt

 

That will be my next try then!

 

Mine kept leaking like that too & it took me a while to sort it properly as it kept running down the plate making me think it was the o ring seal on to the block so after taking that on & off a few times I spotted where it was actually coming from & some ptfe tape on the bolts sorted it out.

 

I used ptfe tape on all mine when I fitted it and never had so much as a drip from any of them

 

Thanks good to know!

I assumed that the tapered thread should be able to close it down completly isn't this?

I mean it's BSP which should mean gas tight aswell isn't it
