need to change out a knock sensor, how hard is it to get done?

Not to bad. Pull the intake, unplug the harness, unscrew the old ones, screw the new ones in, bolt stuff back up, done.

i know there are 2 of them, how can I tell which sensor it is? Or should I just go ahead and change both of them while I am in there?

Change both. I just picked up 2 sensors from a guy in the for sale section for 25 shipped. They were take offs from a crate motor. A lot better than the $40 each new from everywhere else.

i have never messed with ls based motors, just lt1's. Guessing that getting the intake off is about the same as on any motor? Anything I need to look out for so I don't mess anything up?

The oil pressure sender....

If you can work on lt's the LS's are a breeze, undo the wiring, pull the fuel rail,pull intake, only fluid that you will lose if gas if you undo the lines. Dont pay anyone to do it, easy and you will get some good experience!!

cool, thanks for the help. I am sure that I can get it done, just never messed with them and wanted to get some info before I get started.

the injectors to unplug are the hardest thing really, and be careful trying to unplug the knock sensors the connector is easily brakeable, also you must replace the intake gaskets while there the new updated desgin are green, vs the old orange ones
