Glad you got your O2 sensor challenge tackled. I hate working with exhaust system frozen hardware, but it looks like you got it sorted out.

You know you can get valve cover gasket sets that come with new nuts, right?

Yes, there are some here that claim they aren't required, and for the most part that's probably accurate. But for nuts that aren't torqued very tightly and on a part of the engine that's notorious for oil leaks, they add to one's peace of mind. Especially for how little extra they cost when included with a gasket kit.

And with your shiny new valve covers? Yeah, I think that's a pretty easy call to make.


Again, good work with the sensor and getting the bung fixed up. Those are often nasty jobs. I'm not looking forward to replacing those on my daily appliance which has four of them. I just look at the parts sitting in the garage and find another reason to procrastinate a little more...
