Glad the list is back up!

The left knock sensor (on the outside of the block, brown connector on
the IM) wire insulation is in bad shape-can see the shield in several
places.  The insulation doesn't look like the one on the other side,
either.  This on looks like it is a wrap, as opposed to a smooth jacket
on the right side.  Engine runs fine.

Question-can I wrap this w/ electrical tape (maybe spiral poly-Et= on
top), or is the heat too much?  If no, what should I use, or just
replace it?
