o2 sensor came out

[Magdave]

Threads on the pipe or O2 gone? If only the O2 easy enough to replace if pipe hmmmm. I wonder what the cause was or if the wrap had anything to do with it?

:shocked: I never thought about that; good poit! :thumbup:
I do know that it worked okay on the bottom half of a crankcase... nojoke

Yeah, works great on aluminum cases, oil pans, etc.

Might be able to chase the threads with a tap and getting working well enough depending on the sensor's threads. Not something I'd like to try in the field, but is possible.

Be nice if you had a little anti-seeze on it.

Don't use anything like anti=seeze on it. It must be electrically conductive. Electronic shops sell a conductive "anti-seeze" that is what should be used if you use anything. This is also what is to be used on your spark plugs.

Ive used anti-seize on O2 sensors and spark plugs for probably over 25 years and never had an issue? :dontknow:

Especially to be used for spark plugs in aluminum heads!

Yep, me too. Never an issue. We swear by it on a supercharged 4-stroke Kawasaki jet ski if you ever want any chance of removing the plugs.
I think the key is not to drowned it in antiseize. Just light coat the threads only.

I'm looking at my can of anti-seize, one commonly found at auto parts stores such as Advance Auto. It is VersaChem Anti-Seize Type 13. It is sensor safe and says right on the label can be used on spark plug threads.

If you do any mechanical work, or have installed spark plugs in an aluminum head w no anti-seize, your playing w fire.

I can't read what it says on my tube of antiseize. Its in a big zip lock freezer bag with a small brush. You don't dare open the bag without gloves on. Stuff sticks, coats and stains everything!
Even with gloves you still end up with it on you somewhere!....hahaha

Times have changed. Your computer relies on the conductivity of these components to ground. If the anti seeze does not give this, the computer will shoot a code saying that there is an issue. The newer anti seeze that is to be used will supply the grounding necessary as well as the anti seeze properties.

I guess my anti seize does that, it just doesn't say anything on it about conductivity. :dontknow:

It would make perfect sense that anti seeze in general is evolving. Almost everything has a computer these days and as such, there is a need for proper grounding of spark plugs, sensors, etc.

one side of the treads on O2 sensor is smooth the other treads...the hole in pipe same...threads and other side smooth..it's going to shop

Garage Queen is one thing. But owning a shop Queen has to be a drag. nojoke

Failed threads in head pipe. Time for a new one.

Really bad that this bike has been torn down so many times for repairs. There comes a point when...
