I’m planning to give my PCV system an overhaul. I have decided to take the inlet manifold off to get better access to it. Car is a LCR BAM engine.
Whilst doing this I thought I should sort out the weeping from the injectors. I can’t tell exactly what is leaking so I have new o-rings and new injector seats.
I’ve read a lot on various forums about changing the injector seats, but I’m still unclear about what type of sealant to use on the injector seats.
Some people have stated using Loctite 243 blue (medium strength) but that’s a thread-locker not a thread sealant.
Now I had assumed that I’m trying to seal the threads, rather than lock them from coming loose.
What have people used to seal the threads and can you comment on experiences good or bad?
My car is a daily driver - I want to do this job and get it right first time.
