O2 sensor question
I'm installing a wideband O2 setup in my car right now. The O2 sensor bung that was pre-installed in my turbo manifolds angles downward at about 4 o'clock.
I understand that a downward angle can allow condensation to build onto the sensor, and crack it upon startup.
Should I be worried about the 4 o'clock orientation of the bung?

My understanding is that the 2 o'clock is preferred to prevent contamination of the sensor. Condensation contaminates the cell and shortens the life (accuracy) of the sensor. FWIW.
