Knock sensors I HAVE TO TAKE THE KNOCK SENSORS OFF MY ls1 AND PUT THEM ON MY ls2 , NOW MY QUESTION IS I HAVE THE DRIVESIDE KNOCK SENSOR ON AN EXTRA HOLE FROM A MOTOR MOUNT TO ENGINE , BUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE I PUT THE KNOCK SENSOR RIGHT BELOW THE 2ND CYLENDER ON BLOCK RIGHT ABOVE THE OIL PAN , NOW MY QUESTION IS WILL THAT HURT THE KNOCK SENSOR BEING MOUNTED RIGHT THERE , OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE MOUNTED WHERE THE OLD KNOCK SENSORS FROM THE ls2 CAME OFF ?

knock sensors So if the Driver side knock sensor is mounted in a open hole right above the LS2 knock sensor that is ok ? but on the passenger side i have the knock sensor on the side of the engine about 6 inches in front of the LS2 knock sensor right behind the AC compressor , right below the 2nd cylender , that should be fine then , if there not mounted directly the same way on each side of the block ?

All you need to do, is put the 2 LS1 knock sensors in (one on each side of the block, in the only hole they fit in, near the motor mounts) ... then extend the original LS1 knock sensor wires (you can do it yourself, or there are a few sponsors that sell extensions). That's it you're done.

no just 2 knock sensors , but i have header problems on the passenger side with the only hole i have , so i might have my buddy take the knock sensor to a machine shop and the it down to a little smaller thread M8x1.25
