Brief Description: Reinstalled Crush Washer on Oil Temp Sensor
I removed the oil temp sensor and the crush washer, AN900-10, that had been previously installed. The crush washer had not been properly installed. Using a table showing the angle of turns for this crush-type asbestos copper gasket, the sensor is to be screwed into the hole and finger-tightened. The sensor is then supposed to be screwed in further, turning the sensor 135 degrees. I did this, but the sensor is not very tight. Per posts on VAF, this sensor is a source of oil leakage, so I would like to install this crush washer in place properly.
