Not really if there was an issue with the knock sensor. At least they discovered the problem and didn't just shut it off or turn down the sensitivity and send him on his way.

There is no audible knock.

I'm hopeing the problem is either a bad knock sensor or blow by from the pcv system.

Once the intake was removed to replace the knock sensor there was oil in the intake.
I've read a couple of people having blow by problems once they installed LT's.

I just ordered a Mike Norris catch can. It should be here on the 24th.
Another thing that slowed things down is the local auto parts store delivered one knock sensor that was right and the other had the old school connector and it was to late for them to send the driver back

Once the can and new knock sensors are installed we got to take it for a drive and check the readings.

FINALLY!!! The dam knock sensors are in. The first sent the wrong ones, then had to ORDER the new, correct ones. Anything else going to delay this project?!?! Anyway, back to work, she'll be buttoned up in a few hours and ready to fire up once again

I'll datalog it on my HP Tuners and see what's up. Also waiting on a catch can
