Knock Sensor Relocation

[TheAutumnWind]

Has anyone relocated knock sensors? I screwed the threads up on one pretty badly. Considering wiring both wires to one sensor or spending the $200 for an ICT billet relocation.

So, threads messed up on the sensor? If so buy another one. If threads where it screws in at are damaged, can you tap or heli coil?

Or just buy a new valley cover?

It does not screw in to the valley cover. It screws in to the block. The block is damaged.

The block. Tap/heli coil not an option as the damn thing is cracked.

Yea, cracks suck. Did not see that in the OP. Is there a crack repair to be done on that?

Sorry, you're right. Coffee wasn't in effect yet. Good luck.

A pic would be nice! Try a keensert or timesert. Stop drill end of crack and install with locktite. Mcmaster a good source.
