Re: Knock sensor torque
Some torque them to 12 if it has forged pistons and/or roller rockers. My motor has both, but I torque it to 14 ft/lbs; I wouldn't desensitize it unless it is picking up engine noise, which mine isn't.

Re: Knock sensor torque
I just got mine together and running and am getting alot of false knock. I have forged pistons, l-35's with 2.02/1.6's and a 412 cam with roller rockers. I get the knock lite on my ultimate at all kinds of sparatic times, accelerating,decelerating, cruising. I was going to search this and see if I can move it or what the remedy is. It's reaking havoc with my timing. I'm running about 2lbs of boost,to break it in, so I doubt I am having knock issues. Any thoughts?

Re: Knock sensor torque
Correct. I wouldn't desensitize it unless their was no way to get rid of the false knock (like noisy forged pistons or roller rockers). I was struggling with this problem recently, the Sy was showing knock at all times, turns out it had a bad ecm. I would also make sure that the knock is false before I would consider desensitizing it.

Re: Knock sensor torque
Here is a thread where Nolan talks about desensitizing the knock sensor (last post on the page). IIRC, Jwaller made the same comment at one point, but I was unable to find it. If you google "desensitizing knock sensor," you'll fiind plenty of threads on the subject from forums that use the same style GM knock sensors.

Re: Knock sensor torque
Just wondering about something. A friend of mine is a mechanic and was wondering if the LT1 knock sensor is the same as ours or a different one. The reason I ask is if it's not the same would the LT1 sensor be less sensetive because the LT1's came stock with roller rockers?? Just a thought.

Re: Knock sensor torque
The knock sensor is supposed to be used with the matching knock module, I'm not sure that the Syty and lt1 knock module will physically swap. Also, it was the lt4 that had roller rockers, not the lt1. I know that the lt4 module is not interchangable as the lt4 is a obdII motor. I think trying other knock sensor combos would be risky and would likely not even work.

Re: Knock sensor torque
I made this post in another thread but got no responses. Do you happen do know anything about this.
The #'s listed on sytyauthority are
NEW GM #10456549
Borg Warner #S8011
Standard KS6
But advance auto parts lists these part #'s
BW S8012P
AC Delco 213-324
AC Delco 213-92
Delphi AS10016
I was interested in the Borg warner S8012P because it is the least expensive and advance auto has good coupons online but I want to make sure the sensor is calibrated to syty frequencies/specs and to check that #'s on sytyauthority are interchangeable with advance auto or out dated.
Thanks
