    Have fun with that knock sensor...I changed one..biggest PITA ever. Little tip though....the knock sensor has notches in it and you can stick a 21? wrench up there and turn it till it catches the notches and spin it out like that. That's the only way I could get it out. There's not enough room to actually get anything else up there.

    Crows foot maybe. I'd be able to do it. It's not a ford.

    On the LIM's.. If they are leaking.. you may not have added a blob of rtv before the gaskets went down and after they were in place to all 4 corners. It's a pain to clean them, but if you clean them well, you may get away with it.

    Question to get you to buy the new gaskets. How many times do you want to take it apart to change/reuse the gasket? New gaskets mean you can seal them the first time.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
