Damper mounting bolts with 1/2" step removed. The threads were also shortened a corresponding length. H.R.Slater even machined the tios to emulate the original bolt.

Had a look online...and Techron had top ratings. Perhaps better products out there. NAPA tends to hire people who know what they sell.

Rear oxygen sensor installed into modified spacer. Notice probe does not extend past end of spacer, so no interference with exhaust flow.

Image depicts oxygen sensor probe inside extender...just enough clearance for expansion and gas circulation. On LS400, downstream oxygen sensors do not instruct ECU on adjusting air/fuel mixture. Their primary purpose is to signal when converters are operating below certain thresholds.

The post catalytic converter oxygen sensor probe is a significant blockage in exhaust stream. This sensor serves only to monitor when catalyst levels fall below certain efficiency. Spark plug anti-fouling spacers could solve this.

1995-2000 LS400 post-catalytic oxygen (downstream) sensor. Right and left bank sensor probes extend into the narrow neck of the front Y-pipe creating turbulence and blockage.

To perform testing, acquired Dorman # 42009 from Autozoned. This is not tapered version, so it correctly mates with Y-Pipe oxygen sensor bungs and 02 sensor.

Oxygen Sensor spacers were bored out to accept the oxygen sensor probes. Installed without incident. There appears adequate clearance around the sensor wire lead end.

There appears clearance for a rotary shaft seal behind light pipe. The shaft flat does not extdnd down to threaded bushing, so a rotary seal will work. The nut is removed and replaced by shaft seal with integral nut.

Image depicting how a rotary shaft seal can exert pressure on the rotary shaft. This is a two part seal (nut and boot) and is not the better solution, but illustrates the concept.
