Speaking from plumbing rather than automotive experience, the threads will 
likely cut thru the contact surfaces and make a connection possible. The 
tape will just cram into the voids. After all, the threads are designed to 
be watertight, ideally, even with no tape or dope. To be sure, I'd probably 
prefer to use liquid teflon pipe dope on the threads, or regular pipe dope.
