Actually, a 25 % tank fillup up is apparently good enough to resxet things, from what I hear.

Glad to hear things are better.
I put n 20$ but that was 19.x literes and I was close to empty "check guages" light was on. . . . hmm how big is our fuel tank ?? . . . I still taped low timing afterwards. . . maybe I should go stuff some more in there and tap it again . . . . automotive science right Amit

Our tanks are about 60 litres, so that should do it I think.

Who's O2 sensors are you looking at? The Delco ones? I think there may be cheaper ones through Mopac or lordco, or whoever.

I have to eventually get another for myself, cuz one got damaged when installed in my headers... the bung hole was too small and it crushed the sensor as I screwed it in. Who'd have thought you have to double check something like that? But, not surprises me in this industry.

Wow thats a WICKED price. . . . .I want to do a little more digging on the problem before I spend more $$$ though. . . . .

The thing is I dont understand why im getting constant codes for both left and right bank o2's not switching and perry has the same headers without any codes. Everytime i pull them theres like 6 stored , Ill delete them and a day later a whole bunch more of the same bloody code. I hate that light

WTF, your knock sensor was full of oil? Is the passage cracked, or was there a leak onto it? The knock sensor should be threaded into a dead-end hole with no passage into the oiling or cooling systems. That would worry me if I were you.

nah . . . I have a theory. . . theres holes along side the intake runners , oil could have spilled over the top of my funnel and poured right under the intake through those runners/ pockets whatever you wanna call them . I checked it out pretty good no evidence of cracking or damage I think its just pure dumb luck. The oil looked brand new too ,very clear like its never seen the inside of the engine. Ill keep an eye on it though . . .
