Default Knock Sensor Torque Specs

Greetings,

I have been fighting KR for some time and someone once suggested that I retorque the Knock Sensors. Has anyone tried this? Evidently some have been overtightened and it may make it too sensitive???

Anyway, I would appreciate torque specs for our knock sensors.

Thanks

The intake manifold torque is much lower and does have a sequence. Knock sensors are individually torqued.
