Default Who's Got The Time

to lend me a hand? I need some help (since I'm not mechanically inclined or completely sure) to replace one of my knock sensors, I have a brand new one to put in. While the intake is off, I also want to sand it and paint it gloss black. I have full access to a shop, or I can come to you within reasonable driving distance. Let me know if you are willing to give me a hand.

lindale is east of dallas, about an hour or so....and that's why I'm looking for some help, because i'm not mechanically inclined enough to tackle the job myself...

One of my friends was taking my intake off.

I'm kind of close to you I think? I wouldn't pick me as your first choice, but I have a bit of experience in tearing down motors.

if you are taking the intake manifold off, that is a perfect time to upgrade your PCV system to the LS6 style.
