I used teflon paste. But the engine is not in the car yet so I can't tell you how well it's working.

It's the same thing I used for 1000psi nitrous fittings though, and it kept those sealed.

 

Teflon Paste or it also known as thread sealant.

 

thanks guys for the fast replay u think the loctight i used might not be sealing it all the way to cause my little bit of smoke?

 

I've used black RTV with no ill effects.

 

i used a good bit of red loctite...2k miles & no problems here.

 

I used blue Loc Tite and no issues here.
