Coolant Temperature Gauge sensor
1986 coupe
Stock L98
Coolant Temperature sender to the gauge. This is the sensor in the passenger side head.
I am going to change mine because the blade was bent and has developed a small crack while trying to bend it back into position.
My questions are:
Am i going to lose alot of coolant as soon as i unscrew this sensor from the head?
Also--do you suggest wrapping the threads of the new sensor with teflon tape before installation?
Appreciate any input
Thanks

Thanks for the info.
I read somewhere on here if you wrap the sensor with teflon tape it acts as an insulator and gives an incorrect reading to the dash? True or False?
With a cold engine---Without draining coolant from the rad--how much will spill from sensor location after removal?
Does it trickle out or stream out
Thanks Again
