I am trying to address a nagging oil leak on my Stage II 153 On-center block and believe I've traced it to a small leak coming from the oil pressure port located at the top rear of the block.
I am using a NPT plug with teflon tape as well as thread sealer but can see it blowing out from the threads after a few minutes on running the engine. I should not see that if the plug is the right thread right ?
Thinking I may not have the right plug thread.
Anyone know what type of thread that oil port is ?
Any thoughts on what I can do to seal the threads enough to withstand the typical oil pressures involved in the Stage motors ?
Thanks.
