Newly overhauled tr-3.  Wrapped the oil pan plug with teflon tape and
tightened up to what felt solid.  It's been leading while just sitting over
winter.  Have a dinner plate size oil puddle at least.  I purchased the Moss
ball valve type spigot to install so I won't need to bother the threads in the
future.  I'd like to get a good tight seal on the valve.  Looking for
suggestions on what to use for a good oil blocking seal.  Just wrap with
thicker and thicker teflon tape?  Is there a plumbers putty/caulk that might
work.  If so does plumbers stuff work ok with the engine heat?
Just wondering
