pyro probe
when installing pyro probe pre turbo, how far should probe extend into exhuast manifold. does it even matter. right now my probe is 1\8 inch from touching bottom. (my pyro probe that is).
thanks all, mooseman

If you can move it... I finally went to a system where I use anti sieze on the fitting and remove it by disconnecting the wires and just remove the whole fitting. Probes are expensive and once in they like to stay there. I even tried reaming out the fitting to a larger size, but still could not get it out without trashing the probe. Course I have experience in taking my motor apart Lately its the monthly maintenance routine.

Hey MooseMan,
DId you have any trouble drilling/tapping the exhaust manifold for your pyrometer thermocouple?

That is a good idea. I am going to drill mine soon. I have a 5" exhaust coming in the mail along with a AFE stage I intake. I will install all of it at the same time. I just installed my aux. fuel tank today. It is 72 gal. with a custom toolbox on top. I had it built at a local weld shop (aluminum). It is pretty cool! I will get a digital pic of the install and post it.

I did mine exactly as mooseman said except i fired the motor with the cardboard in place to be sure any chips got blown out. you can do it almost as quick the right way in the manifold v/s installing it in the improper place the exhaust pipe.
