Knock sensors, at least older model LS1s, can suffer
corrosion problems if you hose down the top of the
motor, fill the sensor pockets and let it sit and chew.
I gather some later motors mount the knock sensors
elsewhere (like down on the block?). It's best to wipe
with rags, around the intake, not hose it blindly.
