torque value for knock sensor?
somewhere along the line i had heard that there is a torque value when installing a knock sensor... i'm slowly building my eng back up, and that is one thing i needed to know. supposed to have something to do with it working properly. last time i put it in, i gave it the ol' "good-n-tight" and never had any problems, but my engine was "tight", too... just want to do it the right way this time, otherwise it's good-n-tight.

Use about 5 wraps of Teflon tape; and about 15 ft-lbs.
Over-tightening it makes it EXTREMELY sensitive and ruins its tuning, such that everything it hears, it thinks is knocking.
