Changed out my front knock sensor today, damn the old one looks horrible. There was still standing water in the cavity too, had to soak it up with a rag. Had a couple friends (and my GF) help out, did the whole thing in about 4 hours, including pulling and reinstalling the Radix. And the best part, everything worked perfectly when we got it all back together.

 

Why didnt you go ahead and change out the other one too?

 

Psh that would just make too much sense

I'll do the other one when I build the LQ9, hopefully not more than a couple months away, so I'm not real worried about it.

 

Hows the dual setup going? FInd a belt yet?

 

Not yet, haven't looked hard. I changed the front of the aftermarket alt case out myself the other day and I screwed something up cause it won't charge when I spin it, so I can't get everything up and running yet. Hopefully by the end of the week, maybe next week with Christmas coming so soon.

 

i have one better hang on

 

 

damn...did you have standing water in the knnock sensor cylinder thing?

 

at some point it did(where i bought it from must have washed it), when i took the sensor out it was dry in the hole, but if i shook the sensor water would come out of it.

I think my wire going to the sensor is giving me problems now too, i unpuggled it at the top of the intake and there was water inside the connector...how the hell does that happen? Motor hasnt been wet for months

 

i had standing water in mine, but yeah i dunno how you get water inside the connector. that's just weird.
