Thanks for all the advice everyone.
Stop!...If you got them to rethread, then don't stress the threads again to apply anti-seize....Just forget it or maybe regret it.

Well, FERSURE!..............seeing as how there ain't no such thing as low temp anti-sieze, then you can kinda be certain it will be hi-temp if it's called anti-sieze.

Anti-sieze is a high temp thang by nature, ya know? Low temp stuff is called grease.

Just sayin..............

Ain't no way I'm removing the "jacked-up" sensor again! I did, however, take the good one out and lubed it up. Thanks oink.
