So this weekend I have been replacing valve stem seals. I was using my compression tester to pressurize the chamber and I noticed that pressure was being leaked out through the spark plug well. I thread taped the air hose to compression fitting so the only thing left to leak through was the plug to head threads. I've never heard of sealing these threads so I thought I would ask. I searched and didnt find anything. I know this would probably be minute and I know the spark plug wire boot is over it but it was leaking pretty good. I had a lot more pressure in the cc than anyone would run with boost but it was leaking enough that the compressor wouldnt cut off. Just seeing if anyone had any input.
