Noobness is forgiven as the LS2 is a holden V8 - LS2 would be good but a Gen-T1000 kit with it would top it off
Ahhh ok, cheers for that Bigbaz Meh, i'd still prefer TT anyday than a V8, but saying that, i do like the roar of a V8, nothing like it!
i know how this goes, next your going to want to "arrange a meeting" then ill see my testicles hanging from your rear view mirror, well i think not!
Thats the difference between detonation and pre-ignition... Common misconception. Detonation can eventually cause pre-ignition, which is when the mixture ignites on it's own from hot-spots, on damaged pistons, sparkplugs etc. Pre-ignition can melt holes through pistons, heads, bores, etc. Nasty. Thats what I had. Detonated badly from leaning out once, damaged a landing. The damaged area got superheated and cause pre-ignition and blew a thumb sized hole through my miston. Guess which pot? Good ol #6. Detonation or knock, when the mixture is lean and burns too hot, which in turn increases the pressure in the cylinder causing the piston be forced down too early resulting in sideways movement damaging skirts, landings, rods, bearings, etc. OR when timing is advanced too far and is ignited too early causing the same effect. OR when timing and intake temps together cause pressure to rise too early. Pre-ignition is when the mixture is ignited spontaneously or in more than one location and when fronts cross it gets real hot in there. New engines and forged parts are designed to withstand some detonation...but nothing is designed to withstand pre-ignition.
