JB Weld won't do....
Ok, i had an aftermarket sensor located in the in water filler neck, just above the coolant level sensor. i seemed to be getting some bad reading and decided to move it down and to the right of the sensor. well i tapped it out, and 1/8 pipe thread, but it is too ******* loose? HTF did that happen, same tap. i am guessing a little to big of hole.
anyway you can use teflon tape, or JB weld on it becuase the probe needs to ground properly. So the is their a JB weld like expoxy that is electrical conductive?
Ideas. Why does this **** always happen...

I would see if there is a TimeSert (IMHO, a better Helicoil) that will fit and give you back the original threaded hold.
Otherwise try some aluminum brazing filler like A-LUM-RITE or DuraFix, dependent if you can get some heat/flame in there without damaging other components.
Good luck.

not sure if there is a enough room... have to get a tap and see. BTW where do you fine a 1/4 to 1/8 NTP adapter?
Good place to find TimeSert / helicoil? seems like Napa/Kragen don't ever seem to have them. do you have to buy a set of them?

Any Home Depot, etc., will have the 1/8 to 1/4 adapter bushing.
