Have fun at work Rick.
Richard, as you know it takes very little silicon to ruin a O2 sensor. Just a squirt of WD-40 will do it. I also wonder about the intake powder-coat, and any gaskets. Anything with silicone that can get through the combustion process when the engine is first started can do it. If the engine cranked for a while before it started that could do it. Just a residual spray of WD-40 in the intake and no ignition can kill them.
As least that is the information I read about on some web site. I suspect O2 sensors are tougher than that. I have never has an urge to test them. Your arm looked nasty. Too bad it did not leave a Porsche crest branded into you arm. If you have to have a burn a cool logo would be better. Of course it would be in reverse so maybe that is not so cool.
