Lambda sensor blanking plugs
Evening,
Are lambda sensors one size fits all? Or does any one know the thread size for the Monster 796 please? I want to get some nice Ti blanking plugs. Cheers

I believe all the lambdas are M18 x 1.5. I've got these stainless plugs on my Evo:

Be careful of using plenty of good quality heat resistant anti seize. In a hot environment it does not take much to get Ti threads to gall and get just about permanently welded together.

I know this is an old post so I hope you don’t mind me ressurecting it. I Did you also replace the two smaller plugs with stainless that are also in the headers? Ta |

As slob says, they are 1/8" with M10 x 1.25 thread. I believe they're already stainless, so I didn't bother replacing them.

they're not 1/8", they're 1/8 bsp, which is ~8.8mm @28 tpi

I made a titanium pair as Oz and I were unable to locate that size bungs in Ti, a royal PITA turning down 10mm race bolt shanks and then thread cutting by hand. Learnt a lot about working Ti though.
