Default Jets leaking!

Just finished up my install and ran some tests. Didn't leak during the tests.

Went for a short drive to make sure it was working all good. Got home and opened my engine back to see the very slightest bit of fluid.

I'm running 100% meth so I don't want to see anything, ever.

Is there a silicone or something like that I can use? or teflon tape of some sort?

Where is the leak exactly?

When you install the jet adaptors, did you loctite them?

I didn't loctite them. It's on the Jet adapter to the intake.

I just read that I needed to. haha.

So I went out and got some high temp Permatex threadlocker, Permatex high temp thread sealer. Also got some Loctite 242 threadlocker.

Now which one do I use? Threadlocker or Thread sealant?

Anyone of the two will do.

Sorry, I didn't see the second being different from the third

OK, loctite 242 is something I have used before. I don't know enough about the other two to make a sound conclusion.

We use high temperature loctite for most of our work.
