Just wondering if the knock sensor/engine light flash (kpro) would pick up any bearing noise/knock as well? Don't really know if theres much of a difference, between that and detonation knock, so I apologize if its a dumb question. A friend of mines motor is a little noisy, but he's not seeing any check engine light flash during pulls. Thanks guys.

The knock sensor is way sensitive so it very well could. I had tons of ghost knocking going on during tuning because my valve lash was off and was causing a lot of valvetrain noise.

Thanks Mike, yeah I'm guessing if it were truly something to be concerned about we'd be seeing some MIL flashing, hope alls been well buddy!
