Hey Dave, I've got a question for ya'.
You seem to know you're ---- and I've been perplexed by this one. I had some
mild spark knock with my '98 318 and I tried a 180 stat., magnecore wires and
some gas treatments to no avail. However, as soon as I put some headers on
(JBA shorties) the knock seems to be gone for good. My question is --what
gives???? Is this due the good turbulence you have been writing about?
Tom

Look, I'm not saying knock is a good thing. The question was asked if knock
was ever good... and the answer is yes. Is it a real world possibility? Not
quite... not yet anyway. Do i know how a vacuum advance works? Yes. Do I
know why? Yes. Does it prevent knock? Yes. Am I ignorant? No. I'm not
promoting knock. I'm just stating that knock is BAD at low speed and high
load (like revving from a stop light or a drag race). This is when engine
knock breaks engines. I'm not saying its good otherwise, but its not going
to harm your motor half as much as in the above mentioned condition.
