Message	Just because other bearings don't show as much or the same type of wear should not be a reason to rule out the possibility of detonation. If the car is tuned too lean the risk of detonation greatly increases. A detonation in one cylinder is usually what happens and detonation in any cylinder is possible given the circumstance. Has a test of Dee's knock sensor been made? I would check the signal at the ECU. www.mytwinturbo.com I think I speak for most when I say "We don't give 2 sh!ts" (n/m) - YugoBernie (NoVA) 11:40:06 01/15/03 (4)
