Question:<br>
<br>
Is this an original part--i.e. it came out of this block--or
aftermarket? If it's a new part maybe try a different vendor.<br>
<br>
I'm not crazy about stacking washers to make a nonconforming part
work, but at least you don't have to look at this every day. But,
you now have to have to have two washers seal to each other in
addition to sealing to the block and the 'union.'<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would like some clarification about the
“Union - oil gauge pipe” before I over tighten and break
something. Number 56 in the picture below. The threads going
into the block are definitely tapered, however, the Union gets
tight before sealing against the washer (No. 57). I don’t want
to over tighten and damage the threads as I suspect the
threads are not a standard size. I was thinking of using two
copper washers and thread sealant.<o:p></o:p></p>
