I'd try some liquid thread sealant...it's white goopy stuff in a rubber cement type bottle that you're supposed to use on head bolts when they go into the water jacket. We used that on a 318 a few years ago and it worked great. Go to the auto parts store...they oughtta have it there.

Just use plumbing tape. It seals perfect, won't go bad with age, and doesn't make a mess either.

pipe tape only works if u wrap it going the way u would that when u loosen, so wrap ur sensor counter clockwise and cover ur starting point. that way when u thread it back in it wont undo itself. a couple more wraps may help aswell. if not id check for damaged threads or cracks. if all else fails try some RTV sealant1987 MGM 126K 2" True Duel flowmaster 40's 3" tipped exhuast, Tinted 20% all way round, individual bank A/F guages, tach.

Me? Nah, I just know how that goes, seeing how when I was still in the dorms I usually ended up being kicked out to the couch in the living room so that roommate can get some sleep while Michelle was doing her best to scream the whole floor awake. Speaking of which, heard anything from my Canadian friend lately, you know, the blonde cutie that used to live straight across the hallway from you?Originally posted by Nathan in MN View Post

You've combined three girlies into one, my friend. There was one that lived across the hall, one from Canada, and one that was the blonde you were actually interested in. But they're all different people lol
