 INSTALLATION

Do not clear the oxygen sensor around top and do not allow contact with lubricant. When drawing a sheeting on the bottom close sensors.

5 Cover an oxygen sensor carving with special high-temperature lubricant "Nevar seez Compound".

If the sensor of oxygen is rolled without high-temperature lubricant, the carving burns over time and the sensor cannot be turned out. New sensors have the corresponding covering.

6 Screw the oxygen sensor in a reception pipe and tighten the moment 55 N • m.
7 Lay an electric wire so that it did not fray and did not concern system of release.
8 Establish an engine cover.
