no there is a sensor that threads in, 3/4 wrench or bigger takes is out. i think it has some black plastic clip that got broke off when i removed the heads leaving the two hard wires and the metal piece.

The only sensor on either head is the coolant temp sender, and thats on the front of the driver's side head. It threads into the head.
