Comprehensive Guide: Installation of Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor

Product Overview

This guide provides detailed instructions for the installation of an Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor, ensuring precise assembly and optimal performance. Follow these steps to correctly mount the sensor in the oxidation catalyst assembly, maintaining attention to specified precautions to avoid damage.

Key Features

• Step-by-step installation instructions
• Specification of anti-seize lubricant usage
• Torque guidelines for sensor tightening
• Important safety notices to prevent damage

Benefits

• Enhances engine performance by accurate temperature monitoring
• Reduces installation errors with detailed guidance
• Prolongs the sensor’s lifespan with proper handling instructions
• Ensures safe operations with explicit safety warnings

Usage Recommendations

• Regularly maintain and inspect the EGT sensor to ensure effective performance.
• Use High Temperature Stainless Never-Seez lubricant (5-87411-039-0) from Bostik USA for optimal sensor installation.
• Adhere strictly to the specified torque value of 30 Nu00b7m (22.1 lb ft) when finalizing sensor installation.
• Avoid applying shock to the sensor tip during installation to prevent damage.

Installation Steps

1. Thoroughly clean old anti-seize lubricant from the sleeve nut, then apply new anti-seize lubricant to the threaded section.
2. Apply anti-seize lubricant to the EGT sensor with care.
3. Hand-tighten the EGT sensor temporarily to the oxidation catalyst assembly.
4. Be cautious during installation to avoid impacting the sensor tip. If the sensor or oxidation catalyst is damaged, replacement is necessary.
5. Final tighten the EGT sensor using a torque wrench to 30 Nu00b7m (22.1 lb ft).
6. Securely connect the harness connector to the EGT sensor, ensuring no twisting occurs.
7. Start the engine post-assembly to check for gas leaks and vibrations at connection points.
