Hello group.
Need help with heater tube install.. Have new heater tube from LMR. How tight are how far down should the fitting be threaded into the intake? I'll try and post a picture on where iam at with mine. Not sure how tight is sufficient.? Thanks Darryl

That should be fine. It is a tapered thread so don't go too tight or you could crack the lower intake.

Like said, tapered thread so it doesn't need to bottom out. Looks like you used sealant as well so I'd be all set with where it is. Just check for leaks when you start up
