Default Vortech oil leak. need help

I recently finished the Vortech install on my 2000 Mustang GT. i spend the last two weeks trying to stop oil leaking from the top and bottom threaded adapters. it's the connection between the adapter and the Vortech supplied 'Tee' by the oil pump and also the adapter and the Vortech nozzle fitting coming from the SC body. I re-tightened, replaced the adapters and used thread sealant but it still leaks. I'm so frustrated, I'm ready to take out my torch and make a solder seal. Any one else have this problem or better yet a possible solution? thanks, Don

I haven't had a issue like this before, but I have had similar issues with some bolts holding the oil line on my bike. I don't know if it would be feesable or not, but what about some high temp RTV sealent? The red stuff. I wouldn't put it extremely close to the end of the thread incase it pushed some into the oil line area as you tightened it, and it caused a clog, but I would think that would hold a helleva lot better than just the thread sealent stuff. Just make sure it has time to cure or whatever before bringing it up to temp. I can't remember what curing time was, but I don't think it was that long. That stuff really is great tho, even made a couple gaskets out of it, and those have lasted me years under high heat and what not. Just spread a good amount around the threads like you were putting on anti-seize or something.
