what you on about ?
use silicone grease around the cylinder boss and carefully screw the new immersion heater in by hand first. then give it about 1/2 a turn with an immersion heater spanner. if when re-filling you get a slight dribble-give it another 1/4 turn. that should do it!
ChrisR....have your sawn through the thread??!!.......was this an example of how not to do it?

Wake up, it's your picture with your name removed, or didn't you notice?Seco said:
Took several seconds to do.
Put your name across the bigger features to make it harder.
Powell30 - it's all Seco's work. Cutting into the thread a little doesn't matter though, it isn't the thread which seals.

Well I assume you put your name there to claim some sort of rights or recognition!
I see you've now deleted the pics - is that to stop copying?
If you want your name to be hard to remove, don't put it in a bland sort of area where big retouching blobs can lose the name. If you put it on the more important features, like I did with the red writing, it's much harder to remove.
Reminder, as it's gone:
