Hey guys, getting ready to install my new DM oil pump line and have a few questions. What kind of sealer should I put on the fittings? I don't exactly want oil leaking, as it's going to be under some pressure. Also, how tight should I get them, I really don't want to strip my block or these expensive ass AN fittings. Let me know guys, I'd like to install tonight if at all possible.

link? isn't army navy just a size?
but for good refernce orf, orb, jic, dont need sealant
npt needs either liquid teflon (i like) or the shit on the role. as far a torque, tight, but you dont need to be leaning off a 3 foot cheater.
An is not a size...it's a type of hose clamp system...different hose diameters require different size an fittings...
I'd say 12 foot pounds would be good for those fittings if they are alum..

So what should I use for a sealant? I thought a little of the black RTV would work, as it is oil proof, and the fittings obviously don't have a pre-set torque..
if they are AN fittings, then you can just put them together dry, i think some people use a skim of oil maybe for ease of removal.
what is the link to these on DM i couldn't find it, i would like to seem them, thanks.
