90 oil filter housing- replacing sensors and gasket - any loctite or RTV needed?

[Corvette95]

I just took the oil filter housing off my 90, I am replacing all the sensors on the housing and installing a new gasket. The sensor all have the factory thread seal on them, is there any hands on advice for supplementing the OE thread sealant on the sensors with a specific loctite or other? Also, is the gasket just contact or should I put any RTV or spray adhesive on it? I am trying to do this once and done so I want to stop any leaks for the future. ALSO, is did tighten the oil pressure regulating valve cover, it was not super loose, but took 1-2 full turns to get tight. I didn't replace the 8mm with 10mm only due to the virus as I can't get out to the stores. Quick advice on the loctite and RTV would be appreciated as it is going back on this morning. THX!

I use a bit of permatex (very light coat) on each side of the Oil Filter Adapter gasket and a bit of permatex or Teflon tape on the sensor threads which are tapered pipe threads. A bit of Blue or red Loctite on the oil filter adapter bolts.

19 ft-lbs on the three Oil Filter Adapter 8mm bolts (35mm, 40mm, 45mm) with 10mm heads.

THANKS!

Didn't want to start a new thread but do you know if this bushing/washer on the inlet hose is an available separate part and if so, anyone have a part number or idea where I can get it? Thanks

I am not sure if the Heater Coolant Return is what you are talking about .......you best ask Jerry if that piece is included if in fact this is the associated fitting :thumbsup:

Thanks, I already have that piece in transit from Jerry, this is for the other side of the hose, I have the black clip in piece, I need the "slip over" bushing that is in the arrows.

I am confused as that black clip (and I assume "bushing") appears what is part of Jerry's Heater Coolant Return Fitting. Someone else (Jerry) will know for sure.

I guess you are talking about the other "outlet" line???
