Knock Detection “Det Cans” $20
-
For sale is a knock detection setup I made. It includes a BMW E36 (S52) knock sensor, amplifier, and ~10ft of cord to reach into the engine bay.
simply bolt it in to a good place on the block, plug in some headphones, switch on the amplifier and listen to your pistons melt!

I wired a knock sensor up to a guitar practice amp which has a headphone jack. I haven't tried it on an engine yet, but I did spend about half an hour clamping the sensor to various things around the shop and tapping on them with screwdrivers and such. Actually worked even better than I thought it would, plus I have all the material I need to make my own ominous tones album. The only issue I had was when I plugged the amp into an outlet that wasn't grounded I got a lot of hum.
How well did these work for you? This looks a lot more convenient than dragging around a practice amp and finding a place to plug it in...

Do you still have these? I have a new engine and lots of paranoia that these would help with.
