For the archives: O2 non-fouler mod does NOT work with Zoldman O2 sensors.

BlackS4tt (Josh) · 01-22-2006, 08:55 AM

i bought the non-foulers (#42009) and i bought a 1/2" drill bit and a 5/8" drill bit. Using the 1/2", the opening is not large enough to fit the O2 sensor. Using the 5/8", the walls of the fouler became so thin that they were breaking and you could see through them. Im assuming my problems are because my O2 sensors are not stock? I dont know, but i'm a little disappointed, i really wanted to kill that CEL. later guys

are dimensionally identical. 15mm at the portion of the tip beyond the threads.

Nick Gustas got it right. see his thread below:

BTW the stock sensors and the VAST ones.... are dimensionally identical. 15mm at the portion of the tip beyond the threads.
