Default Re: Knocking

I will check to see if it's a B cover by some chance. Maybe I'm just expecting too much but it seems there's a lot more power available to me that I am unable to use without the engine knocking. Does it hurt anything to run the engine with too little advance?

I'm quite sure things were lined up with the cam and crank gears when we reinstalled them. I've also been running the gav a little rich to help with the overheating problem. Spark plugs show it was running rich.

Will things get any better after the engine gets broken in more? If not, I may have a 5.5 head for sale soon.
Thanks again for all the help guys.
