I installed the sensors and the fittings tonight for the oil pressure gauge. I had a tiny leak at the fitting for the gauge sensor so I backed it out and added Teflon tape (I must have forgot). No obvious leaks after running the car and doing a slight rev. I didnt drive it down the street but it should be ok. All of the fittings don’t thread in all the way, but I guess that is expected with tapered threads. I was able to get a reasonable amount of turns on all of them and tightening them so I was sure they are not being backed out easily. Any tips on dealing with those fittings? I’ve been reading through the threads, and I think I’ll add some RTV to the base of the fittings so it will at least give me an extra seal. I saw absolutely no leaks at the BSPT fittings on the block or the OEM sensor.
Also I went ahead and ordered a new undertray. Trying the Z1 version this time.
