Sealing nozzle threads

I used E6000 to seal the nozzle to the L as recommended in the instructions. Any thoughts on sealing the threads from the nozzle to the plastic intake elbow? I guess I could use E6000 there as well. I wanted to avoid tape as I didn't want a small piece to come off in the intake track. Using 100% meth, there is now way I'm not using something to seal it.

Thanks,
Scott

I'm not sure about E6000 as I've never used it. But I used Goop(came with the Snow kit) to seal the nozzle to check-valve holder and the nozzle to charge pipe connection on my Focus ST. It worked so well I used it to seal a faulty bulkhead fitting in my washer reservoir completely. It held for a long time with no leaks at all. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Thanks! The kit comes with E6000 now, it is very similar to goop so I will use that to seal the nozzle to the charge pipe.
