It happens randomly when the KS are pluged in...idle, WOT, etcetc. When we unplugged them, it still happened.

Something's just not cooperating.

IMO. I would ditch the catch can and run breathers. Sounds like detonation. The plugs wont lie.

Looks that way, now to figure out why.





They all look like this

  • No oil in the catch can
  • No audible knock
  • No misses
  • Replace sensors
  • Made sure had 93 octane gas
  • Just installed NGK TR6's .38 gap

I dont think plugs are the problem, but I dont really know

If I was working I would just buy a newer block, build the bottom end and transfer all the new parts to it.
