Just gotta ask....
How do the 2 temp sensors on the head actually seal? I thoughtmtheynshould have a metal gasket or something, but none where there when I removed them. I just installed them with some anti sieze...they don't seem to go in far enough to have a metal to metal seal? Also...could not find a torque value?

Re: Head temp sensors
They are brass and threaded. Don't put teflon tape or anything on them that would prevent them from grounding. Screw them in until tight and they last 20-30 years. Unless your threads are mucked up they don't leak, and they usually seat without much issue.

Re: Head temp sensors
Thanks....I coated with a copper based thread lube so grounding should not be an issue. Appreciate the info!
