It's detonation. The single worst thing that can happen to an engine. Keep it up any longer and you will either have a hole in your piston, or a rod throught the block.

it's caused be either a very lean mixture or more than likely, too much ignition advance.

how many miles have u run it in for?

wouldn't still be giving it stick yet just after a rebuild!


anyhow if uve done 1000 miles on the rebuild take it and have it rolling road tuned needs setting up properly !

most tuners wont run a car on the rolling road until it has 1000 miles on the rebuild!
