Need help w/ coolant bleed screw

[uss2defiant]

alright.
Bought 2 plugs.
Cleaned out the factory stock sealant and put on the permatex.

Hand tighten it then nudge it 1/8 of a turn and so far so good.
Thanks again for the support everyone.

hmmm....... mine doesn't go in flush. it gets pretty tight about half way through.
Is that a problem?

I doubt if it needs to be flush, mine isn't, there are about two threads showing above the surface and there's not the slightest bit of moisture.
However, we ho knows if our bleeding valves are the same size or depth, it's a possibility to consider. So if you take it out again it might be no harm to take a calipers and measure it, juuuuust to be 100% certain what you have.

Oh, never mind, I just noticed that this po as t was from 2015 but it might benefit someone in the future I suppose
