FAQ - TEMP SENSOR DAMAGE

 

Several factors can cause them to fail including the following:

1. Over-Tightening the spark plug
a. If the plug is tightened down too much, the ring can easily twist and break. One solution can be to use a copper grease and a thin thrust washer between the ring and the base of the plug.

2. Multiple removal and installation of the plug
a. This is a common issue where plugs are being read. Unfortunately cylinder head temp sensors have the inherent issue where they are not designed to have plugs tightened and removed multiple times. Ideally it should be a set and forget solution. However, in practice this is hard to achieve. We recommend using copper grease and a thin thrust washer between the ring and the base of the plug.

3. Modifying the orientation of the fly lead from the sensor ring
a. Sometimes it may be desirable to twist or bend the sensor ring fly lead to avoid fins or other obstacles, or to try to avoid hot surfaces. While this is not recommended as it can damage the sensor, if you are doing this it is best to heat the ring prior to trying to bend. Bend the lead slowly and gently until it has reached the desired shape. It is definitely possible to break the lead this way so take your time. Damage in this way is not covered under warranty.

4. Surface inconsistency (divots/damage/dags/lips/debris/other sharp protrusions) on cylinder head, plug thread, or plug base
a. Check your head, plug thread and plug base that they are all smooth and free from any debris that may catch on the sensor ring – this can rip the sensor ring easily.

5. If all else fails
a. CPR Kart Parts carries replacement sensor rings for all CPR temp gauges which can be found in the store in the gauges section.
