is it OK to cut the thermal couple to the proper length? It sticks into the tail pipe too deep - need to cut off ~1/4 inch...
Please don't cut the thermocouple Tom, do as Mark suggests and just adjust it, it's ok to put a slight bend in it about 1/2 way along the length to take up the extra, or mount it further up towards the front of the engine. Cutting it "will" cause it to fail.
