Default Bolt sizes and a few other questions..

Alright so to start off, what size bolts hold down the crank sensor and cam sensor for lq4?? I ordered some bolts but I guess they're for a LS2 and were too skinny for both the crank and cam sensor.

My cam sensor feels like it dangles freely inside the motor like it's not held down much even though it's flush. is this normal?

I have a LQ4 block with 243 heads... I'm putting a ls6 intake on it and was wondering about knock sensor wiring clearance, will it clear and not affect the intake being on it?

As for the steam pipe lines, can I use a TBSS LS2 steam pipe line in the rear, and a LS6 steam pipe line in the front? I bought the ls6 one and a lot of people are telling me not to plug the rear. Will a ls2 tbss pipe work?

Thanks in advance guys, this is my first build so bare with me

Sensors should have orings around them and be firm in the block even without a bolt holding them

Yes, any factory steam crossover pipe will bolt up front or rear. I advocate using all four corners.
