[V8] Wonderful Dead V8

[Ron Wainwright]

The sensors are very easy.. well if you've done them enough ;-)
 But I usually go about it one of two ways.
You CAN use a 10mm wrench/gearwrench tool. If you snake your hand up along the block to were the sensor shield is you can use the above mentioned wrenches.
 If you wanna use a socket you can use a 1/4 inch with a few extensions through the exhaust header. There is a void that you can phish the deep 10mm & extension straight to the two 10mm bolts.

All so, I had bought new sensors I got from Bruce from a 5ktq & they work great. But when I tore my 3.6 down I wraped my headers in Black exhaust wrape. & it works GREAT. 
 I can touch/grab my exhaust headers now & they are cool to the touch.. so I'm going to assume that the sensors I just replaced won't have to be replaced for a VERY long time now :-)
 I'll have to get some pics of them for all.
