[V8] Oxygen sensor removal advice needed

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

If it were me, I would probably remove the whole cross pipe and bring it to a
machine shop. You will probably need their services anyway to either weld in a
new bung or fix the threads on the old one.
Removing the pipe is not that big a deal.
