I 'm thinking the threads look to be parallel rather than taper, and the face of the block doesn't look like a perfect surface on which to to get a seal.
Hi Colin,
i can assure you that the treads are tapered. It took me ages to find two 5/8 BPT x 19 (I think) TPI plugs locally. There will be thread seal applied to the threads on installation. So the fiber washer is a secondary seal. The sealing surface on the block is better than it looks too by the way.
