Hi
I am replacing a cracked intake manifold. It has a couple of fittings threaded into it. The replacement manifold had the fittings removed and I was just going to replace them. The fittings in the old one are really stuck. Fittings with NPT threads don't quite fit and I suspect they are BPS. Could someone confirm that these really are BPS threads?
Also can BPS internal threads be retreaded to NPT? I believe they can since the thread pitch is the same and only the profile differs. Has anyone successfully tried this? My questions is; Will it seal.
Thanks for the help.
