I did a stupid thing this afternoon. I tightened the gage on the filter housing and cracked the housing. If I put some Teflon tape on it will that help or do I need to replace the houing.Call me stupid

Purchase a new housing. Better in the long run. Go to a junk yard. Or maybe one of the vendors on this web site may have one.

Should be easy to get a replacement one. If it is a used one use a large file to true up the mounting surface. I lay a big coarse file on the bench and move the part over it to keep it as even as possible.

There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!!

They are made from pot metal doesn't take much to crack. They also like to leak so now is the time to fix it right.
