I have no idea if the pinging was related to E10 or not. I have no real idea when it started. Let me say again I have NO idea of the pinging is related to the E10 or E0. It was not pinging at the beginning of the year (at least I did not notice it) and I don't RECALL it pinging when I was running E0. when I switched to E10 again I heard it. Its possible it was always doing it and switching fuels "exposed" me to a change in the noise which brought it to my attention and that it was not the actual "fuels" causing it or not.

its not bad (and oddly ONLY under "light" load when I give it juice the noise abates completely) but it also means "I am" at max advance for my particular situation. In fact I should probable retard it a little but I don't want to fiddle with anything till I have all my cards in order.

slogfilet. I look forward to hearing your results.
