There is no real torque given for installation since you can't get a torque wrench on it anyway. :) I just run it down by hand then turn it in with a wrench till it feels snug. If it leaks you just turn it in a bit more then check later. A dab of sealant around the last few threads helps. -- DougW |

Re: Oil pressure sensor?
Ok here's a question. I went and found the sensor and tried to unplug it to
clean it but it is a new kind of connection I have never seen before. Seems all the connections (most) have these new (black with a red thing on them) Does it slide (red thing) to lock them? what is the correct way to disconnect / connect without breaking them?, (which I am famous for) "Bishoff" <rwrede1@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:y6rUf.492$WZ4.13@fe06.lga... >I just bought a '99XJ Sport w/ 4.0L yesterday.
