Bill, O2 sensor came with some gold colored paste
to use on the threads, haven't started yet, but know from experience, don't
place an anti seize on the first two threads on plugs, or it will bleed unto the
spark end. Experience based on heavy industrial applications.

So, it appears that I am the only one dumb enough to
do this..:>)
Does anyone have any helpful thoughts? I would
hate to replace the O2 sensor and just contaminate the
replacement.
Thanks,

I just removed my exhaust to have some welding done on
it. When I replaced it, I added some anti-seize compound on the two EGT
thermocouples and also the O2 sensor boss.
When I started the engine, the O2 sensor worked for a
few minutes, then stopped working. I assume that it did not like the
anti-seize compound???
My question is…will it come back after a while?
If I need to replace the O2 sensor, should I try and remove all the compound
from the thermocouples as well? (they are ahead of the O2 sensor) Should
I run the engine for a while after I remove the compound to try and burn it
out of the pipe or should I clean out the pipe?
How bad is my situation? What to do….What to
do???
Thanks for the help!
