When the combustible mixture of
gas and air burns much too quickly,
it sets up an excessive engine vi
bration. The resultant sharp ping
ing noise is commonly known as
spark knock Oh ping.
A badly overheated engine can
bring on this too-rapid combus-
ton. but very often there's another
reason: Ignition timing may be too
advanced or low octane fuel may
be used in a high-compreSSion en-
CINE
Carbon formation in the combus-
ton chambers or faulty exhaust
valves can also be responsible for
spark ping. They bring on con-
dition called pre-ignition.
In brief. pre-ignition is the pre-
mature igniting of the combustible
mixture by a very hot carbon de-
post. or exhaust valve before the
spark actually takes place. Usually,
recognition is the correct diagnosis
when the spark knock develops
gradually rather than suddenly.
