Oil pressure sensor
I have replaced the oil pressure sensor in my 50th anniversary edition. The new sensor had a rolled crush washer. 1/4 turn past finger tight it felt like the crush washer was collapsing. I took it 1/4 turn more past that and stopped. Should I have gone until the crush washer was completely flattened? Dont want this to leak.

Ditto. Just replaced mine and torqued it to 15 lb.ft. per the factory service manual, as stated. It's location makes it prone to heat and vibration, so it is likely to leak if not properly tightened.
