Default Pulling intake manifold -- knock sensor

'07 XK 4.2 Nat Aspirated, 95K miles: So I'm replacing the coolant hoses throughout as preventive maintenance.

Next is the small u-shaped one under the intake manifold. Since the manifold is off, should I replace the knock sensors at 95K miles? Or are they good to go for an expected next 5 years, 20K miles?

Also, anything useful from blasting out accumulated oil from the inside of the manifold?

Thanks!

Panthera

Mine are original... at 200,000 kms.
This is one of the items that I put into the "repair bucket" as opposed to the "maintenance bucket".


... oh ****e... did I just jinx myself ;-)
