Re: engine detonating (knocking)

Mine has been doing this since about 10000 miles, just like the bulletin says after a cold start when engine is running get a piston skirt noise that sounds like a rod knocking except that it goes away as the engine warms
noise lasts less than one minute and only on cold starts. I can assure anyone that the normal noise I have is completely harmless as I drive this engine hard and have for over 100000 miles now. and if this was an engine destroyer mine would have been destroyed long ago. this engine regularly sees 11000rpm for extended periopds and just won't blow up.

I think I'll tear down my Porsche and increase the skirt clearance maybe I'll be able to outrun my truck
