Default Who's Got The Time

to lend me a hand? I need some help (since I'm not mechanically inclined or completely sure) to replace one of my knock sensors, I have a brand new one to put in. While the intake is off, I also want to sand it and paint it gloss black. I have full access to a shop, or I can come to you within reasonable driving distance. Let me know if you are willing to give me a hand.

lindale is east of dallas, about an hour or so....and that's why I'm looking for some help, because i'm not mechanically inclined enough to tackle the job myself...

Sounds like a ROAD TRIP!! lol Let me know when you come into town.

x2 on what mjcotroneo said. Don't drop them

Grrrrr ******* oil pressure sensor ... $50 for that damn thing I had to buy one about a month ago They break way to damn easy..

One of my friends was taking my intake off.

Hey Sean oops I broke your oil pressure sensor lol hahaha I'm just playing it didn't break.

I go to start putting **** back together the ******* thing was broke lol

I went back to him so much for the not broke part lol

That **** gets so ******* hot and breaks so easy. Not much you can do but go buy a new one.

I'm kind of close to you I think? I wouldn't pick me as your first choice, but I have a bit of experience in tearing down motors.

if you are taking the intake manifold off, that is a perfect time to upgrade your PCV system to the LS6 style.
