I have a DEK180 and superior (Lycoming type) engine.
The oil temperature sensor came without any washer to install it. I have used a standard crush washer however I have had an oil leak and I'm concerned that there is no way to safety wire the sender to stop it being able to come loose.
The sensor doesn't seem to make enough contact with the crush washer for a good seal and when using crush washers the component's are normal safety wired.
How do you recommend it is installed and ensured that it can't vibrate loose?
thanks
