Here is a question for the hive - kind of a follow-on from the TR8 spark plug discussion below.
I am getting some intermittant pinging on the TR - most often at low revs (<2,000RPM) under load/excelleration.
I have tried a bunch of things, including
- Retarding the ignition (currently 8 deg BTDC static)
- Enriching the mixture
- Adding a octane booster to the fuel.
None of which seem to have done the trick.
Should I try cooler spark plugs (could these being too hot be causing the pre-ignition?)
BTW, I have a "hot" cam and pretty high compression (10.5:1 or thereabouts)
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob.
