RE: MAJOR O2 SENSOR PROBLEM! HELP!!
wow...this thing just dosnt quit sucking...the meineke guy had to heat the headers up just to get it off, he broke 2 socket renches trying to get it off. so i got the sensor back and the threads are almost no more, theres maybe just enough to get it in snug but im gena use this stuff called Loctite to make sure it stays. hopefully it'll work and hopefully i wont have to do much other than that. im gena do this tomorrow so ill post again when im done to let u guys kno how it turned out...wish me luck

Locktite will most likely burn off due to the heat. Thats how you normally make loctite go away...heat it. If you want it back out eventually use a product called never-seize. Great for high heat/rusty/incompatible materials. I was gonna suggest a torch to heat the surrounding metal. LOL

this is a good lesson for us who have not put headers on yet. id say im going to take mine off and make sure i cant do it before i go and buying headers and having them collect dust.
thanks man.
hope everything works out for you.

i just cant get a break...i put o2 sensor in today and for some reason the CEL keeps coming on, i've been working on the wiring and nothings been working...also, i went out to drive it and for some reason, and it idols at like 0 rpms and just driving it like a mile it stalled twice. it also felt less powerfull then before...im probably just gena take into the dealership or meineke and just have it done there, im so sick of it now. and ya dj_ipirate ur right, if ur planing on buying headers, make sure u can get the stock ones off and everything first so u dont end up like me, especially if ur car is old and pretty rusty..
