Yep Spare. You hit the nail on the head. I called Clearwater back today and they said the same thing. Pat at clearwater said they have had alot of trouble with those press fit fittings leaking. They have since stopped the use of those type fittings and have started tapping a 1 inch NPT hole into the head and use a 1 inch pipe plug type fitting in it. I ain't real crazy about tapping into my cast iron head on the motor but I might have to. I can cut a 1 inch tap back so it don't bottom out and coat it with grease to catch the shavings. Im trying a different type sealant on it now, if this dont hold I'm gonna tap it out . I'm sure the pipe plug deal will hold!! Thanks Spare!
