NOT in 2nd i can floor it with the secondaries >opened in 2nd up to 4500rpm with no detonation >but when the secondaries open in 3rd or 4th around 2500-2700 rpm >it has a pinging sound(yes i am sure it is a pinging sound) This is 'cause you're going much faster and working the motor harder with the higher gears ... >it has NO egr or computer stuff on it just, fuel-fire-air-electricity >also i have richened the jets in the secondaries by 1jet up. >should i go to about 2or3 jets up. >also the initial timiing is 10 BTDC and the total is only 34. >i have been told that this engine(8.2:1 or 8.5:1) should be able to run 36 - 40 degrees total timing, whats wrong. the engine only has 2500 miles on it and my old engine did this too. >please can i get some suggestions? You pulled the EGR off, and upped the jet size, but have you checked to really be sure that's enough ? If you lean it out too much you will get the pinging problem you describe ... that is a fairly low compression and should be able to run lots of advance based on pre-ignition, but if its some other cause, then it doesn't matter what the timing is ... what sort of temps is the motor runnin at ? What thermostat,etc....

This situation is getting out of control, with half the mail queue space being taken up by mail 3-9 weeks old. This weekend, I will be installing software that will delete all mail over 3 weeks old.
