Default o2 sensors....

Can you clean o2 sensors? I have been having alot of problems out of the damn things since i did the heads and cam and all that stuff, and the keep going dead. I think they are getting drowned by all the unburned fuel when i first fire it up. So can you clean these things?

Yeah, alot of people just say to replace them but i just clean mine when they go. Just use an air compressor and blow air into the sensor, then get some electrical parts cleaner and spray it down real good, and then use air again. You can also just use a rag to clean the outside metal part of the sensor.

get a propane torch and burn off all the carbon on it. O2's don't go bad, they get covered in ****.
