Default Well this is interesting...
Something tells me my Nitrous Express Lightning solenoid shouldn't look like this...



It will not seal on the inlet side, and the purge port side. This is the results after using teflon paste. Frozen **** everywhere!

I never had to fight a solenoid this bad! No matter what I do, it has pin hole leaks in the same spots on the inlet and purge ports.

Yup, sweet band clamp mount. It was a temporary solution.

Put the tape (omg tape!) about 3 threads from the end and screw it tight. I assume your using paste or loctite?

Red loctite works like a charm, the past is crap and leaves a mess.

I would replace the solenoid and use teflon tape.

Try using blue loctite...that should take care of it.
