In preparation for the trip to Hershey this weekend, I wanted to troubleshoot some very poor cold starting that had developed recently. To check the health of the CHT sensor I pulled it so I could verify cold and warm readings. Odd thing was how much effort it took to remove. I'd read these things should snug but not be in very tight. So I finally got it out and this is what I found:
I'm no expert but that sure looks like aluminum filling in the threads. I have a correct replacement but I'm worried about trying to thread it into the head at this point. So my question is how screwed am I now and what is the best way to go forward? Any thoughts or experience in this area would be much appreciated. Thanks, John |

You are not in error ... those are the aluminum threads that pulled.
Someone makes a setup to install the CHT on one of the intake manifold bolts, but I don't remember whom. |
