problem now
Was going to reuse my old water senting
From my old omori gauge
But look like the senting was press in , don't think it can be reuse able
So time to find some water temp gauge with less exotic thread !!!

Such a great thread to read especially heading into the season!
Has been many years I have not played with the stock style setup but remember having such an issue in 2010, we made a steel spacer from the shape of an older gasket for the lines believe, heated them and pryed into place.

You could knurl the old water temp sender base and press it back in with sealant (or undercut an o-ring boss into the temp sender base and face cut the iron if you want to get fancy) if you are pressed for time.
If you tap for threads I advise you use straight threads and a face cut on the iron with crush washer to seal as it is easy to crack the iron there if you do tapered threads as it creates a spreading force.

I'd appreciate any other pictures you have of the trans cooler setup. I was going to put my cooler return into the trans fill hole, but always interested in other options. Good luck in your upcoming season.
With your new motor build, did you still keep the oil drain from the catch can back to the oil pan like before? It seems like that might be the only way to get rid of catch-can issues on the stock turbos.
