Oh, the flashbacks to my adventure with a stuck knocksensor stud in the block. Extremely painful if you guys remember! Finally had to take it to the local garage on the lift to have it taken out.

Antiseize...really? I thought it was thread sealer as well. I should use the antiseize and then torque to spec?


The ones on my 95 are stuck, I was on a hurry because I had a run to Lone Pine so I left it alone and just added new Dexcool and water. One of these days I'll need to use a pipe wrench to get them out. One of these days...

The knock sensors use sealant and torqued.


I use a socket and 1/2 in. breaker bar to loosen the first 1/8th turn with a lot of pressure on the socket with my left hand.

When you do it, stick a hose nozzle in the hole and blast it, you'll be amazed at the crap that comes out.

Mine have been out twice reusing the factory sealant, torqued, no leaks.
