I was changing my Head temp sensor yesterday and discovered that some of the rear threads on the old one were stripped!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Now if I can get the new one to thread in:
First Question: If it doesn't thread all ther way in, will it cause sensor issues? Second Question: How do I get the friggin thing to thread with that wire sticking out of the back! Third: I think I already know...Will I have to drop the engine out to re-tap it worse case senario? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks Scott |

1, it has to thread all the way in.
2, take a long socket and a long extension...grind a groove into the mail end of the extension to allow the wire to pass through with the socket in place. 3) no, you can tap it in the car. You need to buy a tap, then grind it down so its a flat bottom tap with no taper on the end. the hole does not go through (that would be very bad) its just a flat bottomed hole. It can be tapped with a flat bottom tap in the car... Rich |
