Temperature sender

Replacing sender.

Should I put sealer on it or leave the threads in the head and sender clean.

Does it needed to have the body of the sender grounded to work properly?

Anyone ever attached an ohmeter to the sender and heat it up in water with a thermometer and see the value change? The new one is 46 ohms and the one I'm replacing is 41 ohms. The gauge was never very steady and I blamed it on the thermostat opening and closing. It is a high flow 160 degree unit.........Thanks
