   You have to re-route the wire so that it goes around and down the back of the engine

   What about screwing in the lambda sensor first with the manifold on the ground.then with the help of someone offer the manifold up to the head once you have a couple of nuts on you'll be ok.

    If you go on kamracing's website they sell a metal sleeve which screws onto the second lambda sensor.
