Default Went searching for the problem

and seem to have found the result, now I have to figure out how it happened and fix. There was no issue with water in the oil, but it kept throwing codes and running way rich. The culprit was the rear knock sensor.
Of course the real issue is, now that I have it torn down this far, can I afford a new 4XX LSX.

How would the knock sensor make it run rich? I don't get it, why did you take the heads off?

I had that happen once as well, it was oil leaking into the valley. Dealer fixed it under warranty.
