Can't loose that ping
Well I've tried retarding the timing, upping the octane, cooler spark plugs,
even (at the suggestion of JeepsRUs) tried one of those tornado thingys all which didn't work. Still have pinging. Luckily, JeepsRUs refunded the 57.00 for the tornado thing when it didn't work. So I guess the next step is to put the 4.0L head on the bugger. This I had planned anyway but I didn't want to be forced into it. booo hsssss |
Re: Can't loose that ping
But, your manifold won't fit the 4.0 litre head. Maybe, put a
sandwich gasket in and loose a compression.

Re: Can't loose that ping
yeah, I have to get a 4.0L manifold. I have the head and the valve cover.
I need the manifold and a kit for the head bolts (7/16 to 1/2 inch). shouldn't be too much more in parts. mostly labor at this point. something I didn't really want to do but no way around it. bill "L.W.

Re: Can't loose that ping
What is your compression?
Is your distributor maybe worn so it advances too far or too easy? Someone told me that the advance should top out at 2300 rpm. Maybe check that on yours by marking the slot white so you can see it through the fan blades or mark a spot in a measured static advance for reference. Maybe someone knows for sure what the top end for advance is for sure? If it tops too fast you can get a ping. Vacuum leak? Maybe try a spray of carb cleaner along the manifold gasket and TB base plate to see if the idle bumps. Same for vacuum lines. What happens if you pump the brake pedal fast a few times? Something simple is likely to pop up I am thinking.

Re: Can't loose that ping
Hi Mike,
So if compression was an issue it would be too high? Too low of compression wouldn't make it ping would it? How do you determine if the distributor is worn? It looked good physically when I put it in. What does it mean by the term "advance"? What's the opposite of advance? What is the negative effect of pumping the brake pedel fast? What should be the desired effect when pumping the brake pedel fast? > Someone told me that the advance should top out at 2300 rpm.

Re: Can't loose that ping
Too low compression would make it ping?
I thought ping was caused by gas igniting before the spark got to it due to compression. That's why high compression engines use higher octane. Is this right? Why would low compression make it ping? thanks, bill "L.W.

Re: Can't loose that ping
Then you must pay a mechanic to do it, cause it ain't going happen
otherwise.

Re: Can't loose that ping
Sorry, your "Too low of compression wouldn't make it ping would
it?" confused me. Too high a compression, may cause pre detonation, but you know you didn't have that problem before the conversion, so your problem I believe is spark knock, caused by being too far advanced for fuel configuration.
