Roller tip rockers loud enough to set off Knock sensor?

A friend of mine was saying that roller tips tend to make a little more noise than the stockers and can set off the knock sensor, anybody had that problem?

Mine were a little more noisier on one side, so I readjusted them last night, tightening them down about 3/4 turn once rod was pressing down on lifter as opposed to the 1/4 to 1/2 turn I had done before, but didn't help much as far as the Knock was concerned.

yes its been known to cause false knock

take the knock sensor out of the block and wrap the threads with teflon tape and thread it in the block very easily and dont tighten it very much at all, that should help it
