FINALLY!!!!!! Some good news after some BS going from yesterday. tried to replace my knock sensor after my scanner found some issues that came down with 3 codes. 2 of got out of the way after replacing my Map sensor and fuel pump relay,
Later to find out my Knock sensor was hooped even though it was a new one. so broke off my new one from the block. GRRRRRRR
So i tried to remove it and still a no go as it was way to tight to fool around with it and i said F***** it, will just relocate it elsewhere on the block
So chased some threads on the driver side for the best location with this handy little tool. Loving it!
So found a good place for it, but sadly enough, my new adapter will hit a small piece of the motor, so i had to grind that little piece just enough to say that it can go round and round until i can get to my desired angle for my knock sensor and Voila: ...
on the next one, you can see the place where i grinded off a little to make the adapter fit
another angle to it
Good distance away from the exhaust
And you can see on the last pic another area where i chased the thread thinking that it would of been a great place, but no, way to close to the exhaust, this way is easier and faster to remove and put another one in there even if it is stuck, i can still have a lot of room to fool around and remove it without damaging the block.
So ran the motor again with my scanner on it and no more SES light on the dash.
Today was a Fracking good day. Glad this is out of the way now. time to resume work on bleeding the break lines and sending that bad boy to the shop for exhaust and wheel aligment.
