Hey guys when installing these make sure the sleeves look like this. When installing its easy for the sleeve to get up inside the nut and when your torquing it down it gives resistance like its sealing but its not. Look very closely at the how the sleeve fits in to the nut so that you know what it should look like when your installing it. Another item I need to make an install thread for.
Make sure it doesn't look like this
If it does lift up on the tube like this while you tighten the tube on to the AN fitting.
On some oil pans this threaded part spot welded into the pan gave some interference. This pan shown does not but on the pan I use for the tool at the Bending shop does, you can either torque it until the flat of the nut is parallel with the axis of the crank or you can clearance that welded nut (part spot welded in the oil pan) with a die grinder.
Use Teflon tape on the BSP thread, (the tapered one) and use silicone on the threads between the nut and the end of the fitting. Put the silicone on the threads on my part, NOT ON THE OIL PUMP THREADS. You don't want any silicone in the oiling system.
I will show a photo of this later, sorry I don't have one now.
Also be nice to these parts when installing just because they have a big hex on them doesn't mean you torque the crap out of them. Remember they only have to seal oil pressure not hold a wheel on a car.
