According to the instruction manual, you need a 5/8" taper punch and a 3/8" NPT tap.

You can take the oil pan if it's off , to an exhaust shop and have them weld a o2 sensor bung on there . It's 3/8s

When I did mine i drilled a small hole then used an air hammer to spread and roll the metal in while trial fitting the hose fitting Then used the tap with white grease to keep most of the shavings stuck to the tap. Got a 3/8 brass hose fitting at home depot in the plumbing section and screwed it in with some black RTV. Never had any issues. I was thinking about getting a bung welded in for a cleaner look but whose really going to see it besides me? lol Not sure if it's worth the $20 to have one welded on.

Maybe I should get drunk off my HATERADE elsewhere?


I was slow to take the hint, so I'm taking a break from CAFords for the rest of the month. Now excuse me while I enjoy some cereal. Mmmmm Mmmmm good. Who else wants to join me?
