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?

Knock the corner off of an extension, that seems to be the easiest route. The square part that plugs into the back of the socket--grind just enough of one corner off so that the wire fits between the extension and the socket. --DD

well I changed it...

cutting a socket with a dremel took at least 30 minutes maybe even a hour.

woah.

and then the old temp sender pulled the threads with it...great. I invented new cuss words, since the ones I kept on saying to express my frustration became old.

"The Tettster" wrote one of them down before I forgot it.

but anyway, I went to get some milk of magnesia, and sure enough it made a thin film on whatever i put it on...which is good. Thanks Jake for the tip.

The new sensor threaded in (thank the lord) and I was able to tighten it down. The old one was obliterated with a hammer....

next i did the spark plugs, Bosch Supers...what a great plug (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) fit perfectly...

also used MofM for the spark plug threads too.....
