Puk, a troublesome fairy!

If I retard any more I can't move anywhere. The metallic think is now a quieter rhythmic knock though, if I add more mix it has the same effect as the retard. I have no idea what to do next if the knock needs to go now. I don't think it's tappets.

Pinking sounds like a light rapid metallic random rattle, usually only when you are pulling hard under load and the engine is warm backing off the throttle should make it go away.

A light rhythmic knock sounds like it could be a description of tappet noise, they might have settled down a bit now the engine has been run a while after it has had that replacement head.

I would say post up a video of what it sounds like BUT after seeing a video of another pinto that sounded so bad I wouldn't have trusted it to get down our road - then hearing it in real life and finding it was actually once of the quietest I have heard, it might not be that helpful...

What outings have you got planned?

Pinking sounds like chains being shook by a ghost in the engine. More fuel or less advance!

Thank peeps, I've got it as best as I can now...too much gogo juice makes the tappet noise, too little makes the pinking, there is a tiny moment of opportunity in the middle that seems to be the quietest

Wales is the big one this year, Snowden zip wire and then some belly boarding hopefully on the west coast
