pinking

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

which is the best additive to add to your fuel to stop pinking

 

what do you guys use ?

[retrorigg]

i usually find super unleaded stops it or alternativly alter the timing,

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

its just the slightest pink i did have it at 8 degrees but now its at 6 and its loads better i do only use the standard unleaded though i will try the high octane one

[retrorigg]

the high octane will prob stop it then if its only slightly pinkin, and it,ll make it quicker and smoother , just sooo fookin dear tho

You need to adjust the timing to suit your fuel, not the other way around

the big question is how do i find what im supposed to ajust it to

[Fiesta Steve]

Turn it a few degrees in one direction, see what happens, if it gets wrose/better, adjust it the other way/leave it alone

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i had a feeling you were gonna say that

 

cheers steve

[Fiesta Steve]

lol, no worries m8

or take out some compression coz taking away timing loses power. but thats not as easy. the so called fuel we get now is more additive the real fuel

[Fiesta Steve]

..and the good stuffs too expensive

You could put a thicker head gasket in to lower the compression ratio

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

no i arnt that bothered

 

so from that skimming a head can cause pinking ?

[Fiesta Steve]

Yes..

[retrorigg]

but if you run a higher octane fuel ya can run more advance on the timing therefore gettin more power , if you run to much advance on standard fuel you get pinking, but if decent fuel it allows advance without the pinking, if you retard it to stop the pinking ul loose power , easiest way is try some super unleaded, shell v power is usually the best option and see how it runs,

I'm running 12.5:1 CR so have to use the good stuff, runs like a noisey pig on the 95, would knacker the engine as well......
