One other thing to remember is to be sure that whatever gasket sealer being
used on the intake is safe to use with O2 Sensors, 'cause some of that stuff
can be blown through the exhaust stream.  It should say so on the tube or
bottle.  The stuff's that's not can render the O2 sensor useless.

Just my nickel's worth
