It is designed to shoulder on the nut, if teflon tape got between the shoulder of the nut & the case it could possibly work as a spacer which could change the air-gap ..This could result in false sensor readings ... __________________ 1992 F-350 , CC , 4x4 , 7.3 IDI , E4OD , 3.55 Gears , 130000 KM , 4" Lift Kit , Altezza Tail Lights , Euro Clear Headlights ,1990 F150 Chrome Front Bumper, Xenon Extreme White 80/100 Bulbs , E4OD Transmission Cooler , Sony AM/FM /CD /MP3 /XM Ready , Insten FM Digital Transmitter , Apple Ipod video (60g) , Rancho RS5000 Shocks , 10X16 Americal Racing Wheels , 315 LT /75R 16 Durango XTR Radials.. truck1 truck2
