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?

Turn to the proper clocking on the last turn and the compound will set up to maintain a non-leak condition.
