Anyone add packing behind the nuts on IP cylinders?

All:

Has anyone added packing behind the IP cylinder nuts?  If so, what?

Thanks-

I use ptfe tape like plumbers tape.
just use a small piece and twist it into string and wrap around push rod then tighten the nut. do not over tighten or it will be too stiff. a drop of oil on the piston rod and it runns grat stops the leaks from there
