I got two new Knock Sensors to put in today. From what I understand I don't need to put anything on the threads, as they come out of the box with a red thread compound or paint already on them. Is this correct?
Any affirmation on that assumption?
Thanks

I just got off my arse and dug up my FSM book II - that one is heavier than book one! I hate to pick it up.

Anyhow to answer my own question and any others that follow this thread.

FSM says in NOTICE:

Do not apply thread sealant to sensor threads. Sensor is coated at factory and applying additional sealant will affect the sensor's ability to detect detonation.

OTOH, when combatting false knock from RR or other mods, a little thread tape helps to desensitize the KS.
