I have installed the 45 degree fitting VANS supplied in the back of the
engine facing out and down as instructed and used Bakerseal. Then hung the
engine. Now having connected the hose to transmit the pressure to the
manifold I have had to back of the fitting just a few degrees to ensure
clearance for the hose from the mount. Now it is slightly loose! %&$*%!!
If I take the engine back off I will not be able to get another full
rotation of the fitting since it is very tight just beyond where it is.
QUESTION - How do I ensure this is not going to weep?

I would remove and re-install using Loctite PST. Turn to the proper clocking
on the last turn and the compound will set up to maintain a non-leak
condition.

Leland, thanks ...I'll still stick with the single CHT and follow your advice on
using a rear cylinder, I'm not looking for absolute data, just a good indication
of what's happening while leaning, climbing, descent etc.
