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 |

Had a similar problem on my '74 2.0L except that the old CHT was broken off in the hole. Pulled the runners and the tin, drilled what was left of the old CHT out and put in a Timesert. Be real careful to keep the tap perpendicular to the hole and don't go too deep (blind hole).
