I suspect that my engine has a pre-ignition issue. Although my son Mike can hear such an event, he's 3 hours away. I know from previous experience that we can both stand next the same engine and I can't hear what he can hear.
Modern engines with engine management systems rely on anti-knock sensors to adjust the timing so that they can run as close to pre-ignition as possible without it actually happening. So what about those of us is older engines like the Type IV? Is there a knock sensor that can be attached while setting the timing so that we can accomplish the same thing? |
