EGT sensor plugs

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Dumb question but why are you not using the outer EGT where the Male is on the Header and a ferrule and cap nut are used ?

When not in use they are just capped ?

Seems like there is less turb with exhaust passing a 1/8 in flat hole than a 1/8 npt female thats plugged on the header.

Or do I just "not get" it and the question ?

(and no harrasing me about "pimping" for our sponsor, they are the only ones that had both and I knew where they are and the "watermark" their images because people in their business have a real big habbit of stealing em)

BUT is this what you are using ?



And why not (and Im really curious as I may learn something)

Why not use something like this ?



Then just cap it with this...

It always comes down to cussing and praying when its time to romove the seized in plugs. I just spent an hour drilling out the plugs and retapping the bungs on my own headers so my question is does anyone have a solution to this problem? Please real life answers only, no "I read it in Hot Dog magazine" stuff.
