Re: Senders & Tranny Q.

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

When using factory (VDO) senders, you should not have to coat the threads
with anything. The senders ground through the head/oil filter flange, and
any sealant or other coating will interfere with the ground and result in
erroneous readings.  IN my expereince, if you use clean senders and new
copper gaskets where applicable, leaking will not be an issue.
