Thanks for the replies guys.
I worked on the engine this morning. I measured that metric hole in the head and realized that the minor diameter is the same size as what a 1/8" NPT bore calls for. So I ran a 1/8" NPT tap in the bore and installed the sender. Appears to be nice and tight.Did the same thing on the oil pressure sender. Hopefully when I'm ready to run the engine, they won't leak
.
Here's the oil pressure sender
