EGT Install Help?

Facinnreality · 10-15-2007, 07:58 AM

Hey guys i have to go to home depot in about twenty minutes to buy a drill bit and tap for the egt install and give it to my neighbor who said he will do it for me. When i showed him the sensor he said i needed a tapered tap. Can someone please specify the exact things i need as far as the tap and the drill bit size i am i total noob when it comes to these things, i dont want to have to go back or worse make a hole thats too big and be SOL. Thanks Alot.

I just read this thread after reading several on this and other sites. Here it says to use a 21/64 drill, where others have said 11/32(22/64). Did i just F@&k up by using the 11/32? It does feel loose until it is seated. if it was too big, what could i do to compensate? i doubt locktite would do anything, maybe some hight temp rtv? Please help!
