knock sensor (left & right)

Went and bought two new ks's, they weren't cheap but oh well :rolleyes: :banghead: . When I pulled them out of there packages one had a black plastic tip and the other a white. Does this mean that one goes on a certain side of the engine? I dont think it matters but I want to be sure. :smash:

Also how many ft lbs of torque should I put on it?10-15?

Re: knock sensor (Dudeurgettnavette)

There's no difference. Place 'em however makes ya happy. And for torque, I think 14lb/ft was what was referenced for my '96... although I just finished a rebuild, teflon taped mine and went a bit higher. Don't get crazy with the torque, you really just don't want them to leak.

Mine is on the passengers side and the tip is white. There should only be one. The other side had a hole in the block, it where the coolant for the oil cooler run to.
