Cylinder Head Temp Sensor Size, is there only one size? Options

[bd1308]

Revised with more clear subject line....

I just need to know if indeed the TS2 sensors (head temp) are in fact close to a 13mm size, rather than the larger size I thought I noticed in my 2.0 from my old engine.

anywho, I looked at the pelican order sheet and it shows it fitting ALL Years except 73 2.0, which used the ballast resistor.

are they close to 13mm, or not? Oh and do i need to buy a deep socket and cut a slot into it so I can pass the wire through, or is there a better way?

I did this not 2 long ago.
Drill size = 9.8mm
Tap size = M10X1.0

And as I recall I used an 11mm to tighten 'er up.

As for cutting a slot in the deep socket. Sure, that works.

Long ago - when my engine was actually IN the car - and I had to replace
the t-2 sensor. I didn't want to cut up a socket so I cut the wire
short enough to stuff the wire in the socket, installed the sensor,
and simply spliced the wire back together. that worked too.

This time, I don't have that problem for obvious reasons... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
