What's the sealant of choice for these occasional leaks? I've run across a few and have used everything from LocTite to Dirko to even JBWeld to re-establish a hogged out seat on one plug thread fix that also needed a heli-coil. I've also let a couple slide by that weren't all that bad and didn't detect any noticeable performance issues like you would expect from a bad seal or other type of case or intake leak. Also hafta wonder how many saws that were tested through the plug hole actually have a leak there once a plug is installed.
Just did a MS361 rebuild with an aftermarket top end and have leaks at both the decomp and plug threads with a brand new dual washer decomp substitute bolt and brand new NGK dual washer plug installed. Gotta wonder how common it is with the AM kits (but overlooked), too.
Kinda frustrating to say the least.
