Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this plate work with my factory knock sensors? A: It is designed as a delete plate, so it does not retain the factory knock sensor positions. A: Plan on relocating sensors or running a tune that does not require them.

Q: Does it need a gasket or sealant? A: Sealing is typically done with a gasket or anaerobic sealant matched to your block deck surface. A: Check that the mating surface is clean and flat before installation.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
