HELP! O2 sensor threads on DP damage
So I bought a used helix dp from another member on this board. He used to for a very short time (a week or 2). But didnt plug the 02 sensor bung w/ anything, and it was run unplugged. So anyways, I get this thing, and I can only screw in the mechanical cel fix about 1.5 turns. Then it gets stuck, I didn't want to force it, cuz it could make things worse. The threads looked really black witch char, but i probed the threads w/ a pin, and part of the thread is chipped. I have gone everywhere (autozone, pepboys, ace, menards, sears, tsc) looking for a tap to fix the threads. The biggest one I found was a 16mm at ace.
Does anyone know where I can get an 18mm tap to fix the threads on my dp??? Or any other ideas? Please help Vic

if you happen to ever see a tool truck driving around (snap-on, mac, matco) they all carry the 18mm tap on their truck.

If someone could verify this, I'd say the right one is 18X1.5MM. Not 100% sure, but almost certain.

I'm so lucky the mechanics lab at purdue had one!!! 18 mm is the biggest size they have too. Neways, I was scared at first cuz it was cutting away more metal than i expected, but it worked perfectly!!!
Thanks for the help guys! |
