Yes I suppose there's a very slight taper too- but never fitted so can't confirm either way if it fits the F20C block. Was always worried about the "imbalance" of the S2000 engine wobbling the sender, but I think the concerns were more for the traditional large, bulky pressure senders - this one would screw straight in (in theory) because lets face it, if your low pressure light goes on, your engine is toast anyway ( ~3psi)

He was using a tapered adapter that would only go in a thread or two like yours, so he wound it in another couple of threads and it split the block open.

Ah ok! yes that makes sense now, thank you.

UPDATE:

My 1/8 BSPP fitting arrived today and it feels a lot better.

See below comparison, both wound by hand.

BSPT is completely dead stuck after 1 thread length in
BSPP can go even deeper by hand, there is resistance but probably because of the old Hondabond residue.

Brass fitting = 1/8 BSPT
Silver fitting = 1/8 BSPP

Bought a good quality 1/8 BSPP male/male with a bonded rubber washer, they arrived today so went ahead putting everything together.

You don't need thread sealant on parallel threads

The hose (from the LMA kit) is a 1/8 BSPP female 60 degree cone, no thread sealant required also
