Sealing Oil Temp Sensor?

[RudiGreyling]

Gents,

I have the standard Dynon probes and the lycoming oil temp sensor is a straight thread (NON taper) compared to the other fluid sensors.

How do you seal it oil tight, since the standard pipe lubricant/sealant does not work? Do you use RTV a Copper Gasket or how?

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rudi

To be a tad more helpful...ACS part number:

AN900-10 AN GASKETS AN900-10

and see

"unbroken surface [of gasket] against flange of part being tightened [the sensor]".

I'll add my voice to those who suggest that Dynon should include this with the sensor...
