You used gas line pipe dope to seal machine threads?
Teflon tape/pipe dope is designed to seal tapered self-sealing threads by reducing friction. Not sure exactly which type of pipe dope you used, but you shouldn't use a pipe sealant to seal machine threads because machine threads don't seal themselves. Use thread sealant instead:

Looking good man!! Can't wait to hear it run.
