Message since the correct way to seal an AN port thread is with an o-ring gland properly machined into the port. There are specifications that define every aspect of these glands, and simply machining a chamfer in the lead threads for the o-ring to fill and then "squish" out of is not good for o-ring longevity or re-usability.
