Over-torqued Knock Sensor require replacement?
I unknowingly over-torqued the new knock sensor and I'm getting quite a bit of unexpected knock retard. Is is "ruined" or can I remove and re-torque or maybe do a wrap or two of teflon tape?

What you said. Remove, add a layer of Teflon tape and install with 11 - 14 ft/lbs of torque. Then good to go.
