there is SOME leeway here... the same knock sensor (KS8) is used on 2.0, 2.3, 2.8, 3.1, 3100, 3300, 4.0, 4.6.... that's a range of 86 - 94mm bores from 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines. and quite a few engines that have a bore inside of that range that don't use it... it's really a combination of rough bore size and rough sensitivity... the knock filter is more or less tailored to each specific application to further tune the signal.
