Temp Sensors
I replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets on the engine. With the headers, I guess they produced a lot of heat and melted the temp sensor. Is there a temp sensor on each head? Or is this a sensor for something else? Both sides are melted. And once I replace them, what is the best way to protect them from the heat???

Generally the one in the pass side head w/ spade terminal is gauge sensor; one in drv side head with button syle connector is fan switch.
I have had headers for 6 years and the sensors have not melted.

It's an 86. One of my mechanic friends said to wrap them in aluminum foil once I replace them (Only the best for my baby!). I am assuming the headers melted them...or the fact that they are 20 something years old!
