water drain replacement
I had a fuel leak behind the fuel filter, so I replaced the entire waste gate which came with new O rings.
I havent been able to stop the leak. I went back yesterday and tightened the #20 screws a few more turns and there is still a leak.
I never got a dead tight feeling from any of the 4 screws, Is there a dead end for the screws when it feels like you can't turn anymore or does it just sit in place. Thanks in advance.

Replace the o-rings inside the valve. Simple to do.
Take a look at posts #11 and #15 in this thread:

for a "quick fix", and look at post #22 for the good stuff.
