Oxygen Sensor: Installation
CAUTION:
Correct tightening of oxygen sensor is critical to prevent crushing glass beads in graphite anti-seize compound. Crushing glass beads will cause sensor to seize in exhaust manifold. This may necessitate replacement of exhaust manifold upon next removal.
- Whenever oxygen sensor is removed, coat threads with anti-seize compound before reinstallation. New oxygen sensors already have this compound applied to threads.
- Install oxygen sensor in exhaust pipe. Tighten oxygen sensor to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Reconnect harness connector to oxygen sensor. Reconnect negative battery cable.
