Good scoop here Barry!
I have Fire-Sleeve on those lines and they are steel fittings. From what I recall, they are NOT NPT threads and have an O-Ring and washer that are tightened by a jam-nut to create the sealing action. I had some hot-restarting issues during the summer months as I have a tight fitting plenum (SamJames) around the engine.
I have already accomplished the cursing parts....
I also have the approved pipe dope stuff - it is a white compound made by the loc-tite folks (565). Hadn't used either for this application due to the O-Ring/washer thingy....that has worked for the first 140 hours...until I added the shroud.
I'll be modifying some wrenches to fit in there meanwhile.
Thanks!

No fun without the cooling shroud....
For my original installation, I got everything roughly in place and was able to rotate for final position prior to snugging down the O-Ring nut - no special sealant and tight enough that it took some force to rotate it again. There's probably a torque value and I'll look for that in responses too!
