People are suggesting it from experience. Define "normal" readings... What are you measuring? Resistance? Voltage drop? Capacitance? The knock signal is a VERY fine signal which is VERY susceptible to interference unless you've put an oscilloscope to it testing isn't going to prove much.
Good luck with it; Let us know what else turns up.
