Default One broken bolt

My favorite saying when working on my car. Every small job is just one broken bolt away from and all day affair. Such as when both knock sensors spin in the housing and will not come out, tried re-crimping the edges with a small chisel, tried screws through the sensor body then thy just wrung off. Fun fun. Bought these from Amazon three months ago as genuine GM but according to the Chevy place they are genuine chineseium. Both were installed three months ago, both had never seize and both were torqued to spec. Neither got along with the ECM from day one.

I learned when I built my car is to never cheap out on things. Didn't matter what it was every time I tried to go the cheap route it would always bite me in the ***. Never failed. Amazon is the absolute worst for Chinese crap

Once they factor in rebuying junk parts, it’s cost a lot more. Do it once and do it right.
