Taking mine in the morning to get the freeze crack in the block repaired. So,, soon I'll be trying it out again. I've heard the ping you guys are speaking of but not on an A engine. I haven't heard it at all with mine but have not driven it enough yet. Is it more pronounced when the engine is at operating temperature or can it be heard on a cold start as well?

I try to explain to my son and daughter and wife that the timing is similar to riding a bicycle. When going up hill there is constant pressure against your feet as you pedal but as soon as you roll over the top of the hill that pressure changes and any of us who have tried to go as fast as we could knows what happens next. If you're not careful you'll wipe out just trying to keep the pedals under pressure.

I'll admit I don't have a total understanding yet but I'm sure with enough experience I'll get it.
