Ok guys so I am getting a little frustrated with knock....that I feel I shouldnt have. Im tired of my car being slower than it should be :angry: . But anyways...on my nightly cruise around the boards and vendors i came across the ZZP tech articles. I read these many moons ago and thought I would give the "Mystery KR" article a read.
So it seems that some people have knock problems do to excess head gasket material. This excess will glow read and create a hot spot in the cylinder. The excess can also affect air travel into the heads.
The other problem could be unbalanced and unclean injectors. A couple months ago i replaced my injectors with some 20,000 mile injectors I got off a junkyard box. Doing this swap, seemed to lower my IPW, because my other injectors had 90,000 miles.
So I guess I am looking for opinions on this information. Though I am not big on going to the head gaskets without other modifications, like heads, valvetrain, cam, rockers, I wont be able to afford doing anything additional. The injectors would not be a big deal at all. They will be coming out in a month or two anyways (when i change the upper manifold).
I remember a while ago at a meeting a bunch of you guys getting your injectors cleaned and flowed. Who did this? How much did it cost?
Thanx for any help you can give.
