EGT sensor plugs

Peter,

I assume the teflon tape melts, all I know is that it is gone at some point. Same thing for antiseize, probably a good idea for initial installation but I assume it melts as soon as the engine is fired. I've seen antiseize melt while welding so I know for sure that it won't handle the temp. I'm leaning toward the brass plug idea with a little orange RTV and minimal tightening as an experiment.
