Stripped the head on the block of the knock sensor

[silviaz]

No idea how this happened possibly cause the bolt was too tough to remove? I wqs able to put the bolt in fine or its owning it geta tighter but with the sensor it just keeps spinning i had to re allocate to another spot on the block. Though some of surface on the sensor itself is hanging off the block doesnr have full contact. The car runs the same though.

 

Can i use this as a permanent solution?

But what is the answer to my original question? I need to rethread the hole and if I can't do it I need to replace the engine lol because it won't be able to do into its original position.

OK. Please go back and read your own OP. Then try to pretend that you're me not being able to work out exactly what you damaged and what is going wrong.

Then come back and ask the question again. Are you asking what thread the stripped thread is?

Don't think he's heard of a helicoil if so. But yeah the first post is a little incoherent 😂

Think of the children. Foruming whilst intoxicated is never ok!

Sorry for the late response, all. I did hear of the helicoil I think I better pay someone to do it lol otherwise i might mess that up to lol.

It's still my subaru 2001 impreza.  I relocated my knock sensor here: No check engine light, though feels like I can hear a bump from the back when breaking, don't know if that's just me lol. Car drives same as before all is fine.

It's fixed. Move on.

 

 

 

 

Bump from back is a result of moving knock sensor though

Oh really? Is that detonation or something? Will it negatively impact the engine?
