Wrong size knock sensor threads in new engine
I recently purchased a reman 4.6 to replace my current 4.6. I have both motors out and in the process of putting all new sensors in everywhere. The original motor has 12mm threads for the knock sensor and the new motor has 8mm threads. I can't find a sensor with 8mm threads. Any suggestions on what to use.

Both the company and Ford should be able to tell you based on the engine serial number and manfacture date. It is odd that you cant find them at a good parts store but it is possible that Ford made a change and did not produce the type you need for very long and the secondary market decided for profitability reasons not to produce them. I'd try to talk to a good Ford parts man.
