This may sound like a silly question, but is there suposed to be a seal or crush washer between the case and oil pressure sender (stock)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

My memory says no. I think the sender is a tapered thread (pipe thread). You can probably tell by installing to reasonable degree of torque. I think you will see that it does not bottom out so sealing ring would not help. I would not bet the farm on the above advice but hope it helps some.

Definatilly not .... its tapered
I don think you'll be able to see the treads with the sheet metal on. If its leaking its probably where the plastic and metal meet and once they are really leaking it nomally will make it look like the contact is leaking oil and you shouldn't use teflon tape on the threads. |

There definitely should not be a seal or gasket. It does use tapered "pipe" threads.

Sorry, but I don't remember a "Mike's Tech Page". There was Tim Jones' 914 Fan Page, which should still be available at http://www.914fan.org . There's a lot more info out there now--for instance, Brad Anders D-jet pages have just about everything that anyone knows about D-jet EFI. http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders .
