knock sensor removal ?
I flushed the radiator today and went by the instructions on shbox's site and they recommend removing the knock sensor and block plug as well. I removed the knock sensor, but no water/antifreeze came out. I couldn't get to the block plug. anyways even with the system refilled I get no water comming out of the hole. Whats the deal?
Thanks

Definitely a problem, and probably the cause of the knock retard. If you have solid sludge packed into the space between the cylinder walls and the sensor, you are transmitting every vibration in the engine directly to the sensor, which is nothing more than a tiny piezo microphone. I saw a tiny piece of silicon seal get lodged in the end of a knock sensor, and cause a large amount of knock retard.
