Water temp sensor
Hello,
I'm about to install my water temp sensor on my rebuilt 350. Do I use teflon tape and then install it on the motor? Or do I just install it without teflon tape? Thanks, Ramiro |

Sensor has pipe thread and pipe threads require some type of sealant,pipe dope or teflon tape. Don't over tighten and your good to go. Duck 37

Re: Water temp sensor
I just did a couple of temperature sensors, and used Permatex High Temperature Thread Sealant (small tube is item 59214). I used it because I had it around from some NPT fuel fittings.
Everything I've used it on so far has sealed the first time, and a little goes along way. I would'nt hesitate to use teflon tape on the water fittings but figured I'd mention something else.
