TLicense Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Guts is drilling off the exhaust manifold to fit an EGT probe, knowing theirs a distinct possibility of getting swarf around the turbo. Balls is knowing it's my daily driver, and I've not got any money to put it right if it goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 "common sense" is using blobs of grease to catch the swarf and wipe it off before fitting the sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Been there! Get one of those telescopic magnets and have a good poke around inside the manifold after you have drilled and after tapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 It only works for ferrous materials obiously, ideally cast iron bits. The 'grease' trick is usually preferable though, because it stops them from finding their way into inaccesible crevices that the magnet cannot reach.

JohnA Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Yeah, I always use telescopic magnets, it's very easy drop bits when working on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
