I need to put in a new oil pressure sender, I though I remember that it wouldn't work properly if you used teflon tape on the threads. Is this true? Do you install this dry?

I put case sealant on it just like all the other pipe-threaded plugs I installed on my engine.
Teflon tape is bad because it degrades with fuel or oil or continued heat, and can permit a leak. Zach |
