[s-cars] motor mounts and 02 sensors...

[thomas.pollock at amd.com]

Hey s-gurus.....

I gotta couple of questions for ya... First question. My exhaust hits the
center cross member under modest application of power. At first I thought I
could simply realign the exhaust which I did but it only helped a little. So
now I'm thinking the motor could be tweaked if the motor mounts are gone. A
quick look under there and the snub mount looks like it's centered and motor
mounts aren't crushed or anything. Is there a good way to know if the mounts
are really gone ? 

Second question. Finally getting caught up on some old emails and was
curious about the recent thread on universal 02 sensors. (I've been splicing
them in for years!) Someone had posted with a link to page that described
how the thing works but at the bottom of the page was a little disclaimer
that said do NOT solder them to splice them in. I could have this wrong but
the gist of it was that they breath the clean sample air in through the
braided wire or somthing to that effect. I have never heard this one before.
Really wierd if true...
