Sure its pinking? Not detonation? They sound the same.

i thought pinking and pre-detonation were the same thing?  :undecided:

They are I think :smiley:

Got loaads of info on it from college.

Basically pinking is pre detonation and detonation is where it insights with the spark but the "field of ignition" or like the pattern if he pressure isn't smooth.

Thus you get the same noise.

Can be many things.

What does it sound like?
