You might get away with some liquid gasket on the threads. As long as it seals and doesn't work loose it will be fine.

I agree.

Very little pressure on the upper section.

Thing is; it needs a fair torque to seat the washer.

Take it out; you'll probably find the thrads fall off.

It happened on my X1/9 on the sump. I think some grease monkey
twat had massively overtightened it, because I had to use the jack to undo it!

I used clear silicone sealer, IIRC.
