You are supposed to torque it to 14 ft. lbs.(19 nm) using a torque wrench. The knock sensor is easy to torque though, as it is on the passenger side of the block, near the oil pan. It is easiest to do this by jacking the car up and crawling underneath. You can look at about the middle of the block and it'll be right there. Carefull though, the sensor is located on a water jacket.You are supposed to drain your coolant before changing the sensor.

torque it using a wrench. just put the wrench on it and feel when it stops turning easy. a touch after that and your fine. not everything needs a torque wrench behind it.
