Can anyone tell me what the torque setting is for the oil pressure sensor at the back of the block? Also should I use ptfe (teflon) tape when installing it or a dab of instant gasket?

I can screw in the sensor 360degrees then it starts to tighten. I broke the port at the back of an old d16 block once by being heavy handed so just wanted to get this one on the h22 correct.

Thanks

 

The liquid gasket is Hondabond but you can use permatex ultra gray or equivalent

 

Thanks for the reply, thats exactly what I needed. Can I ask where did you get the picture from? Was it a manual or did you find it online. I imagine there is a parts site online which can answer alot of these kind of questions for me.

 

One thing I did notice is in the pic you posted up it shows the oil pressure sensor above the oil filter but on the h22 it is below. Im sure the torque settings are the same anyhow but what engine is that picture meant to show?

thanks

 

The torque settings should be similar although its for another Honda engine. If you search google the Honda service manuals are easily accessible for free.
