Very Low knocks on fresh rebuild
Hi guys,
So I just rebuild the engine again as I messed it up the first time with the thrust bearing but the good thing was that nothing was damaged except for the stationary gear and the I had to get new water and oil seals.
So now all in all the engine is done 350miles 150 from the last rebuild and 250 from the new one. My question is that i am not getting any knocks since the new rebuild. The max knock reading that I have seen is 9 on the Power fc commander on the new rebuild. Is this ok or is the Knock sensor malfunctioning. Usually I see a max of 3-4 knocks. How do i check...
thanks...

My guess is something in,on,or around the motor was loose/out of tolerance and causing a rattle( not necessarily something you could hear) that was giving you a higher knock reading before. Now after the rebuild things are tight again and your reading has gone down.
