Those were the first pieces of glass I changed out. With my wife's help, I changed out both in about 30 minutes.
I've now changed out every piece on my car. No big deal.

Why would you?
Sealing is done at the seat, not at the threads like a NPT fitting.
IMO, using PVC tape screams "I'm a hack and I don't know what I'm doing", so don't do it.

Quickest way to know if you have a leak of un-metered air is to see if the idle speed can be adjusted. If it can't then you have a leak.

Congratulations.
With all the spaghetti covering a 996T engine, it takes a detailed plan to get it back together and you only had one small leak.
