Got the new crankshaft position sensor (CPS) today. I did a resistance test using the multimeter at 2000 ohms on both of the old and new CPS. using this video as a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W_NghGZ3Xk&t=198s

The new CPS shows 874 readings, and the older CPS shows 817 readings on the multimeter. Does that make any difference?

I put in the new CPS inside the hole. It was a very tight fit and constantly turning back and forth and pushing inside the hole. Why so tight fitted? Can I use some kind of lubricant such as motor oil on the rubber sides of the CPS without damaging the magnet on the tip of the CPS just to make it easier to put the CPS inside? I made a comparison side by side of both the old CPS and the new CPS and sure enough the newer CPS is a little bit wider than the older CPS. I got as far in as the width of my thumb space left. I had to make sure that surrounding wires are not in the way. Also, the CPS had to be placed in between two walls so to make sure it goes in properly contact with the 5mm bolt hole. That does not give me enough space to turn back and forth trying to get that CPS inside the hole. The older CPS came out much easier pull it out. Has anyone out there has this similar problem/issue? If so, how did it work out? Comments, advice, feedback is greatly appreciated.
