I will be installing a new knock sensor on my 98 Expedition 5.4 4x4 while I have my intake off.
My question is what would be the best way to prepare the block surface where the sensor mounts?
I am thinking there would be an opportunity for corrosion between the parts over time, affecting the future operation, but I am not sure if this part actually works with conduction.
Should it be clean and free of paint to make a good conductive mating surface between parts?
Should I use a dielectric grease between the surfaces to prevent future corrosion or just a dry connection?
