Well doing the ebp sensor on the 250 and managed to cross thread/strip out the header adapter hole. How you do that? Fuck if I know. However many hours later, dropped tools on my face, rust in my eye and I can’t get the adapter in. Getting a thread/tap set tomorrow. Don’t care about the shavings because wide open exhaust.
Where the sensor meets the metal tubing I had to soak and chisel out the gunk for 10 minutes eventually pushing it through with a screwdriver the same diameter as the hole. Needless to say I dont think it’s was measuring much.
(That dark spot on the old plug is solid.

Hah, I am the proud owner of a tap & thread combo (and helicoils) myself after the first time I really worked on my truck (did a dumb, cross threaded a thermostat bolt) . We’ll see if it’s a trend for me once it gets a little warmer.

Regarding rust in your eye: Always wear protective glasses.
Note to self: Next time finally remember to put on protective glasses. That last flake of debris that fell in the eye sucked.

Had em. Just like I had on gloves. Kept taking the gloves off to work on the grinder. Ended up leaving the glasses at the grinding station because they kept falling off every time I got out from under said truck. *were always used when grinding however.
