Vortech oil feed fitting
#1
![Default](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I broke two of the Brass oil feed fitting. I tried to tighten the the oil line because I had seen oil came out from the charger durning the dyno tuning after hard pull. So, I ordered a stainless steel one, should arrive today. My question is, should I put any liquid sealant on the thread and how tight should I tighten it? I had removed the stainless line a few times since I broke two of the fitting, will I damage the line?

This is the link to that fitting........ Also, do I need any sealant to the thread to stop the leak?

I did the same thing. Had an oil leak coming from that area and then broke it when I tried to tighten it. I also noticed that I have a small kink in in the oil return line where the line comes out to the supercharger. Could that cause the oil not to flow out as fast and then have it back up and leak out of the nozzle.
