What is a bung on exhaust?
Innovate Motorsports Mild-Steel Bung and Plug kit (18mm x 1.25) is used for placement of a O2 sensor in the vehicles exhaust system. The bung is welded into the exhuast and the O2 sensor (Narrowband or Wideband) screws into the bung allowing the sensor tip to be exposed to the exhaust gas in the pipe.
How to install a weld in O2 sensor exhaust Bung?
Hello everyone, in this particular video I will be doing a demonstration on how to install a weld in exhaust bung which is typically used for an O2 sensor or also known as an oxygen sensor, but can have other uses as well.
Where can I buy an exhaust Bung for my truck?
These exhaust bungs can usually be purchased for a couple dollars at your local auto parts store, this one was purchased from a local exhaust manufacturer wholesaler, along with the rest of the parts as well. I’m redoing the whole exhaust system on this truck which is a 98 Ford Ranger.
Is the bung of an O2 sensor flush?
While some portions of the bung are flush on the arch, the sides however is not so this can be tough getting a perfectly smooth finish unless you run multiple beads. Insect the area closely so there isn’t a chance for leaks and as you can see the sensor fits perfectly without any binding from the splatter.
What kind of drill should I use to weld an exhaust Bung?
But in order to start out that hole, a center drill should be used. A center drill will create a starting point for the hole and does not flex compared to a smaller diameter drill bit. Cutting oil can be used to drill the hole. But this is mild steel so it’s not a must.
