O2 sensor bung
Anyone ever see an O2 sensor utterly destroy the O2 sensor bung threads?
I mean Eviscerate.
Both exhaust and O2 sensor are only one year old.
Would it be possible to tap-and-die the threads in such short quarters?
Also, would PB Blaster getting on an O2 sensor tip(part that goes in the exhaust) more or less make it worthless?

I would avoid getting anything in the tip of the O2 sensor, although it may not be ruined if you got some in there. It sounds like the bung was made from a softer material and it galled when the O2 sensor was installed. A little bit of anti-seize should help ease removal when the time comes too.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a repair kit available for this,,,,basically just a 1/4 washer with the proper threads. It welds onto the damaged area. Sorry I can't provide anything more but I know I've seen this...

Trip to Fisher(Federal) I managed to snag the M18x1.5 thread chaser and the anti-seize. Thank god for these.
