Knock gauge showing knock at idle

[montecarlofast]

So i just installed a new motor in my 86 t type. Breaking in and after 20 min of break in idling, my knock gauge started to show counts... green yellow then red. A couple of times. So i shut the engine off. Anyone seen this before? Bad sensor? Bad gauge? Problem with the engine? Thank you for your input

Knock gauge is hearing something. Check for something making contact...like the DP hitting the frame etc.

If you've replace the knock sensor recently, might wanna check to ensure it's not over tightened (which would make it overly sensitive).
Believe it should be torqued to 14 ft / lbs and no more!

A calibrated 14 lbft.
No more, no less. Lol
If you gad to, err on the side of caution.
