quick question? in middle of installing EGT probe?

[baycountry16]

Hi I'm in middle of installing edge EGT probe, just tapped hole in manifold and am in the process of screwing in fitting to manifold that probe screws into. does the fitting need to be screwed all the way in so the nut is flush on manifold? the threads are pretty long on that fitting. I have t about 3/4 of the way in, its not quite flush, but I have so much resistance now on nut that I'm worried about snapping fitting. so is it cool if only 3/4 of the way in? It's definitely in there tight as can be.

Thanks for the quick help

it should be a pipe fitting so NO, it does not need to be flush

Thanks for the info, yes it is a pipe thread so I should be good to go. I didn't use teflon on that fitting, should I have? I don't remember seeing anything in directions on that

I don't see teflon lasting long in 1500° temps, so no.
