Oil pressure sender
Engine was running decent after its first start up from a rebuild but notice oil pressure dropping dramatically so stopped engine and my damn oil pressure sensor is pouring from the threads Not leaking, POURING. I then replaced the sensor and that didn’t help. I did take the sensor off when i got the timing cover cleaned i may have over tightened and damaged thread size. any solutions? I do have pressures gauges

I have a spare timing cover I was going to use for a project you can have for free, just pay shipping. PM me if you want it.

+1 I was shocked when a buddy fixed a cracked iron block with it. Lasted at least a year. Then I moved away. Lost track.

So at that point you may as well just replace it. Especially when a free one is offered up!

OP either wasn't aware of, or greatly underestimated the wedging action of a tapered thread. The temp sensor was also way over-torqued. We can see that it's bottomed out. There are torque values published for these fittings but in reality, they only need to be tightened until there's a smidge of resistance. The thread sealant will do the rest. If the threads are in good shape, and are clean, might even get away with skipping the sealant. Most service-related damage comes from over-torquing or cross-threading fasteners. Even "experienced" mechanics rarely appreciate how much care it takes to reuse threaded joints without damaging them. This is especially true for steel screws in soft aluminum.
