In fact, they are the same industry standard, with a M18x1 thread pitch. The oxygen sensor makes up 5 of the total. ** Please utilize an appropriate 22mm metric socket / wrench and NOT a 7/8" SAE tool to remove the sensor (after preparing it with WD40). We expect 22mm will offer a more snug fit for those o2 sensors to prevent rounding of the corners when exposed to penetrating oil overnight. * Make sure you use an antivirus program It would appear that the threads don't "chase" when using an oxygen sensor thread chaser.
The Lisle 12230 is said to be made in the USA according to my information. The Lisle line is made in the United States in excess of 90%.
O2 sensors work properly with it if you use it on the same size thread as an O2 sensor for a car but it doesn't work well for other sensors
It is a thread " chaser " and is intended to cleanse and repair threads as they wear out. In the case of severely damaged threads, helical drilling would be necessary A coil or alternative solution may be used. If you want to start here, thread chaser is where to go.

Clean those threads up well! On the back of this manifold, this O2 sensor was severely galled. In order to remove the tube, I had to work with all my strength. With a boxend snap on wrench and a big breaker bar, I struggled to get the head removed. It was tough for me because I am 6'3" and 220 lbs. As soon as I removed the 02 sensor, I truly thought that the manifold was toast. As a result of using the device and connecting it to a ratchet, I was able to install a new sensor very easily. After I cleaned up the threading on the O2 sensor, it was in no time at all. Autozone sells the OEM brand for about $15. I found a way to buy lisoles for a lot less money in this American manufacturer.
I wanted to like this, yet when applied, it was hard to use. It was almost impossible to complete the project. The reason for my comment is as follows One of my O2 sensors had about 50% of the threads that attached to the cat boss removed. My next step was to grease the hole and then use this cheap and inefficient Using the chaser, I leveled it correctly and lined up the boss to prevent additional damage to it. This was the minimum that it took to get the chaser to grab the boss and start new threads. That was the worst pain in the rump I've ever experienced! Using this chaser is a difficult task since it does not grab the metal well to start a new thread. It took me fifteen long minutes to finally get metal in the chaser and start a thread after I jammed or tapped the chaser hard. Please do not watch this short teaser if you do not have patience. If you pay twice as much as I did, the job will be completed in half the time! This tool is semi useless, and I do not recommend it. The design needs to be updated. I may do it if I am desperate. It may not be that far away. It is a PASS for you!.
Using this tool after removing the o2 sensor, I was able to clean the threads in my exhaust pipe after lots of research. My exhaust pipe threads got caught in the o2 sensor, when I took it out with great difficulty. I put a gasket in the exhaust pipe to stop it from re-engaging. This chaser was secured in the hole by means of the screw. Despite working on it for about half an hour, I kept having it bind which I dealt with by cleaning the debris out of the channels every so often. I eventually got the threads to be perfect enough to allow the chaser to go all the way in and out It was easy to screw in the new oxygen sensor and it wound up perfectly tight. In light of the issues with thread cleaning and the amount of debris on the chaser, I'm sure that, had I not thoroughly cleaned the threads in the exhaust pipe with this tool, my new oxygen sensor would have gotten stuck and might have damaged my vehicle. The problem is that it is extremely multi-threaded. It is universally recognized that this is a must-have tool when replacing your oxygen sensor.

Restored the O2 sensor port threads, stock Honda D16Z6 cast iron manifold using ant-rust primer (but only after I disregarded the advice to use it), but only after I ignored the guidance to use it. The threads of the machine seize. In the Amazon product page, it is noted that it uses anti-bacterial agents to prevent loss of any data As you are using the tool, you may notice that the threads have seize compound on them. For some reason, that didn't work for me, since the tool stalled less than 1/3rd of the way, so I was afraid that the manifold was too bunged up for the tool to work. Because I think that it would be best to use WD40 if I were tapping new threads, I let the anti-skid tape go We used the anti-seize compound in place of the anti-seize compound and it worked flawlessly. Since my exhaust manifold was on a workbench, I did not want to worry about debris getting in there. Having the ability to use a 3/8" square drive, socket, or other wrench that you may have available, made in the US, is very nice.
Your help has saved my life! One of these must be used if O2 is to be replaced. The product was made in the US and is great quality. I mean it will likely work for a long time before it wears out. It is definitely a money making tool for a professional. It should make the new sensor go right in if you run this horizontally down the O2 hole like you would a thread tap, little by little, back and forth. The new converter I had to use it on had to be brand new, so you never know when you will need it.
9- This year This tool is still impressive to me! In the past 6 months, I have completed jobs with O2 using this system three times. The other was on a cast iron manifold where the sensor was welded in place for the most part. When I finally got the old one out, I noticed some threads that were left in the manifold from the old O2 sensor, so the new one wouldn't even start to go in, so I got this tool out and used it to repair their As soon as the new oxygen sensor went in, it was filled with plenty of anti-microbial I applied seize and it was perfectly tightened. You will benefit from this tool if you do this work correctly.
In order for me to remove a sensor, I had to use a grinder, bolt extractor, and penetrating oil with plenty of heat. In the threads, some sensor material was left behind. Combined with a little cutting oil, this brought them back to life, and the new sensor threads in just like it used to. multi-purpose socket has a 3/8 drive square built into it, making it much easier for you to hold this straight than it might be with a slightly wobbly The tool exhibited no signs of faltering as I turned it with a lot of torque. As a whole, I'm satisfied with this tool, and after using it on a few more O2 bungs since then, I would recommend it for any job involving the replacement of an O2 sensor.
My Honda Civic's O2 sensors just had their O2 sensors replaced, so I used this Oxygen Sensor Thread Chaser. It took just a few minutes to clean up the rusted threads and install the new sensors to the proper torque with the thread chaser. There is nothing like new thread in these threads. With the thread restoring tap, I am able to keep thread cutting taps in good condition. I've used it on several projects and realized the importance of having a thread cleaning/restoring tap set to pair with them. To assist me in my auto maintenance, I got a useful Lisle tool.
After the old sensor destroyed it, the next sensor I tried was ruined too. It was easy to run it all the way in, and easy to back it out after it was fully ratcheted in, backing it off every now and then. It is a movement against Almost none of the metal crumbs fall into the exhaust system when I use anti-seize, so I cleaned out the crud and reapplied it twice Throughout the entire process, you will hear it three times. It's worth investing a few dollars even if you don't need any exhaust work yet if you do any sort of exhaust work yourself.
