While installing my new oil temp sender I snapped the adaptor off in the block.
NO, I wasnt over tightening and it didn't cross thread. Well, I guess I did over tighten it but it sure didn't feel like it when I was installing it. (IMG:http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/albums/Repairs/CMC_009.sized.jpg) (IMG:http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/albums/Repairs/CMC_008.sized.jpg) This is the location just above the oil filter mount. And if you have a 4th gen you know it isn't a straight shot to get at, the pictures are deceiving (I used a small, easily placed camera). Can't even really see it from underneith. I would just install the sender, however it seems some of the adaptor threads are damaged or at least some metal burrs are in the way. It wouldn't thread into the adaptor by hand and I didn't want to ruin that too. I'm going to try an bolt extractor tomorrow, however I'm concerned with containing any metal particles and keeping them from getting into the oil passage. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. |
