changed KS, took 30 minutes

For those afraid to change the knock sensor like i was dont wory, its fairly easy. One thing i did is put some silcone on the socet so i dont loose the bolt after my sensor comes off(seen it happen before so i took this precaution) .Second it is hard to aim the screw i the hole when reinstalling the KS and some tape held the sensor to the socet while we pulled. No cuts or anything and we took out time, ad friend help me just to hold light and help out. But it went well.

o and cell is gone and i got the sensor from ebay for 90$

The KS change IS over-hyped. I have huge hands. Eight inches from finger tip to wrist, And it only took me 30 minutes as well. Just takes a little patience and a small wrench.
