Teflon tape works just fine. Just make sure to keep it on the threads so it doesn't get into the oiling system. And actually for the last few years I have been using teflon paste (with "chunks" of teflon in it) to do the same job. It seems to do a great job and works like the old plumbers dope.
Sealing oil sender connection
Looking under the hood the other day I noticed that where the connection for the oil pressure line attaches to the block is leaking. this is just a brass fitting that screws into the hole where the oil pressure sending unit used to screw in. I switched some years back to a manual gauge. What type of sealant do you put around the threads to stop the leak? I'm assuming that standard plumbers tape would be eaten away by the oil.
