[Shotimes] HEGO sensor trouble codes

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Hunter:
For sure check ALL the plug wells. I think who ever did your work will need
to redo part/all of it. If you are still getting oil in the plug wells get
them to replace the gaskets and this time use RTV. Some good info in the FAQ
on this along with the part number of the gasket set.
