Alright gentlemen... 1 bought a perry vp-30 fuel pump from my LHS to put on my TT .46. The nipple they provided in the package was missing a gasket so I made one. Without the gasket, the nipple wouldnt seat all the way. If I seated it all the way, I worry that the threads might be damaged since the metal is so thin and there is barely 2 threads there as it is. I figured it would come loose and fall out. Will this cause any interference when the engine warms up? I test fit it cold and it didnt hit the conrod, so I'm assuming its okay but wanted to make sure before I put it all back together.
Here's a picture. Gasket in place, nipple lightly seated. I was going to use blue locktite on the threads and maybe a teeny dab of RTV silicone on the gasket.
