Default Sensor Problems
Im replaceing my heads on my 86 L98 everythings going well.. when I go to put the sensors in each side of the heads I Find the hole is to big...Do I go to my dealer and see if there is a larger dia sensor or just use a fitting that will allow me to screw the sensor in the fitting then into the head...I don't want to start throwing codes after I start the engine because of these..Thanks
