Knock module torque affect engine performance?
Had an engine builder say that the torque spec for the KM install had to be nuts on spec or it would hurt performance by giving the false readings.
Myth: plausible or busted ?

Makes no sense. The cover doesn't hold the KM in there, the plastic clips do. Heck, you could leave the cover off if you wanted to. Just snug the screws on there.

I just used some thread sealant on mine and tightened it down by hand.
