02 sensor rethread

Has anyone used the Helicoil 4833 Oxygen Sensor Thread Repair Kit ?? Wanting to know if it's difficult to use haven't found any videos on youtube

Havent used it but wonder if just O2 sensor thread chaser is good enough to clean up threads to use?

Normal O2 sensors are the old M18x1.5 spark plug thread --- last used on Ford SOHC
Normally a chean up with a thread repair chaser tap is all that is required.
The thread on sensor boss is quite short so using a Helicoil might be tricky but timesert style solid insert kit,

Unfortunately 02 sensor came out really damaged I did use a thread chaser but 02 sensor will not grab it just spin's

If it were me and I wanted to do it on the cheap (and if you have a welder of course). I would just fill weld a plug in the old hole and weld a new bung on in roughly the same spot, or you could even cut the bung off and weld a new one where it used to be.

Something like this depending on your thread size.

Unfortunately I don't have a welder or know anyone around the area that would do that
