Default O320 gasket question

Hi Group..

Hoping that someone may know the part number for the oil temp sender gasket or crush washer. I am using a copper ring now, which is an automotive drain plug gasket, and am unsure what others may have used.

Thanks to all,
Chris

I believe the gasket you are asking about is:
STD-294 "Gasket, 7/8 O.D. x 5/8 I.D. x 3/32 annular"

It is the same size as used on the oil cooler bypase.

Check with Mahlon, he will know for sure.

Which translates into an AN900-10 from your usual suppliers....

Those should do. If the oil temp probe manufacturer recommends something different then use that but most will use those. Be care full to center the gasket on the flange of the probe. It is easy to get misalignment of the gasket to the probe and allow a leak.
Good Luck,
Mahlon

Does anyone know whether the seam in the crush washer AN900-10 goes against the engine or against the oil temperature probe? Mine perpetually weeps a bit of oil and don't know whether I need to get a new crush washer and orient it the opposite way. Thanks.
