Leaky bypass pipe

[InRogue]

Before you start the jabs I'm quite aware. So I replaced the Streetmaster intake with an off shore air gap on my 318, all went well and it works nice but the pipe plug on the by pass is a bit too close to the water jacket. I don't know if it's the thread and pipe dope I used or the hose and clamp not getting far enough into the corner that causes it to weep. What do you use on the threads, locktite? I'm thinking of die grinding a little away from the port wall to get more wiggle room. Thoughts

Get a longer nipple?

This came from

Get a longer nipple?

This came from Manciniracing so thought it was the right size.

It might be the right size based on the other photo you posted but perhaps a 1 inch longer fitting would allow for a propper seal

I believe your right Dana, I ended having a nipple in my stash so I'll give it a try. It's the simple things...Thanks

I would opt for a real nipple that is the right length. That one looks home made and there is no barb at the end to prevent the hose from slipping off
