Brad,
Not sure what you mean, exactly, but the 'sensor' is a bulb filled with ether
which pressurizes a bourdon tube in the gauge. You need a good seal around the
capillary tube that comes out of the nut/plug that holds it in the head.

Subject: [Healeys] coolant temp sensor
List: I just installed a new oil pressure/temp gauge in the healey rebuild.
Even though I have the backing nut firmly tight the sensor itself is still
slightly loose, obviously, the best way to tell if it will leak is to fill the
radiator but I am too much a coward to do it, I need someone to tell me that
it is perfectly normal for the sensor to be loose or am I missing something???
Many thanks.

67 BJ8 soon to be running (I hope)
