I went to replace my cylinder head temp sensor. (75 1.8L with fuel injection). I squirted some Kroil penetrating oil in the hole twice in the last 2 days. I put the socket on and it starts to turn. When I pulled the socket out I only had the top of the sensor, the threads are still in the head! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Do I have to drop the engine to get it out, or can't this little shit sensor be bypassed???
