I'm installing the oil temperature probe for the Vans Oil Temperature gauge. It comes in two pieces. There is an adaptor (VA-147) which screws into the engine block, it comes with a copper (I think) crush washer. I've looked around several places and cannot find the torque value for installing this adaptor.
Then there is there is the probe (IE-02017-00) which screws into the adaptor. It appears to be NPT pipe threads. I assume to install this just like any other pipe thread fitting on the engine.
What torque should I use to install the adaptor? Are there any other special techniques that I should use here?
Thanks,
