Knock Sensor Q

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

the only thing I would like to clarify here is that the HT and RD ARE 
interference engines. I personally have bent valves and heard the sound on 
an RD. Dont ask. the JH is 9.0:1 (or 9.5:1) and the HT and RD are 10:1 CR 
hence the need for a "knock" sensor system.
