Only use them to replace a broken tube in a running engine, dont use them on a new rebuild. They leak

Also dont over tighten them as they will and do leak.

Use new tubes on a rebuild...

not a rebuild, thanks dave

They should have a bit of flex and you can bend them one way then the other. That makes them longer and seal better.

IF you are going to use them - use the screw ones not the spring loaded type
