Good posts guys. Yeah I was planning on using the eliminator for the rear ones if I was going to replace it with an aftermarket unit since they're for emissions only basically. The one that is dead is a precat sensor like I said before, so all I need to do is replace it so it can read the a/fs. And since I'm not playing with the fuel trims / ECU otherwise, it should read a-OK!
Edit: I'm leaning more and more toward just snagging those aftermarket heads. I may stop by an exhaust shop to see how hard it is / how much it will cost to weld in a new bung. I could just leave the old sensor in its bung and pop the new one in right next to it. I'm just getting a bad feeling about trying to retap it ourselves, and when I get a bad feeling it's usually for a good reason with car related stuff. :lol:
