[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1534491, member: 29141"] Just google, "drill for 3/8 npt tap" that's what I always do. When you run the npt tap down, do not run it all the way through! You only want to run it down about 1/3 of the whole length of the tap, then test the sensor installation into the new threaded hole (without teflon to see how good of a seal it makes. You shouldn't have to put a lot of elbow grease once it starts to increase resistance to threading, maybe just another 1/2 to 1 full rotation after resistance suddenly goes up. When you're sure it's good, then you back it out and put on the thread sealant and run it down tight. But not hella tight, like I said. [/QUOTE]
