Re: Running rough and loud pinging
Thanks. I actually tried running it last night, it was only about 80 degrees then, and it ran normally.
I also found out that the radiator cap failed and that it would not allow the coolant to purge to the reservoir (which tells me the engine was probably running way too hot). -- So I guess this was likely the problem; however, I do also like the cooler-intake-idea and will consider that.
