Subject:Will This Ruin an O2 Sensor or Cat Converter?
From:Cary Chiang
Date:Wed, 6 Sep 2006 11:40:39 +0200

I'm installing a used 2.1 engine, of unknown condition.  It had sat for
several years, and did not turn over by hand very easily.  I squirted
some oil into the cylinders, and got a little carried away on at least
one cylinder (some oil squirted back out of the spark plug hole when
I turned the engine over by hand).  I'm concerned that I may ruin the
O2 sensor or the catalytic converter, while burning off the excess oil
in the combustion chambers and exhaust header pipes.  Should I attempt
to unbolt the J-pipe (bolts are very rusty), or am I worrying over nothing?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Cary
