[V8] A question for the smartest of the gurus out there...

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I would likely replace it. If it still ohms out ok, I would (at the very least) wrap the areas with broken black insulation wire with self-fusing electrical tape (not that vinyl stuff).  It's the stuff with the clear plastic between the layers on the roll (to prevent fusing until use).  

I've used that successfully where the lack of insulating sheath likely lead to grounding of sorts of the knock sensor wire and substantial power reduction on the V8 I picked up in California years ago.

Also great for temporary repairs of boost hoses and coolant hose leaks. 

Just my $0.02

I know not just anyone will have the knowledge and experience to answer
this.  I need some input from our top rocket-surgeons.  Should I replace
this knock sensor or is it ok for another 100k miles or so?
