Could be too tight in which case you cracked the OFH, cheers. Click to expand…
Can a 2G pressure sensor squeeze out liquid sealant?
Yes, all 2g’s have the same OFH. Unless it happened to be 6bolt swapped. Tape will not squeeze out like liquid sealant though. If you leave a few threads uncovered you will be fine normally. If you know what your doing either way will work.
