You may be right on the 5 year 100,000 on the gold, thanks for correcting me on that. Just so happens i hit the 5 year mark at 100,000. You know i got to go out and look at the book now, lol...

Ah, thanks. I was visioning a threaded freeze plug application so kinda the same deal. Do you use pipe thread tape to button it up?
