Torque for knock sensor

[JJH3rd]

I am about to replace the bank 2 knock sensor (I have one in hand: ACD# 213-2829 GM# 12591312) what I want to be sure of is the torque setting I should use when I install it.


Any ideas?

Does the sensor head fit into the block and thread in, or does it slip in and have an attachment ear on the outside that takes a screw?

Finally found a pic.

Turn till stop, 5-7 lbs.

It screws into the block;

I found it shortly after posting.

Turn to stop, 5-7lbs.

It's basically a microphone, so go easy on it, lol!

Thanks.



I had found 15ft/lbs for a Silverado and that sounded wrong.

could be inch pounds not foot pounds
