Dont you mean "retard" timing?

American reliability... enough said...

You have to sacrifice thing for power in this world... Thats why civic do 300K miles with no power and ls1 don't...

That's why pretty girl drain all your money and ugly one don't...

You always have to sacrifice something in the end.. ^^

Piston slap... ls1 trait.

Monkey see monkey do. Its your lifters or cam lobes by the sounds of it, too much clearance either way

Nice engine.

Pinging will sound much louder, so it's not detination. Try cleaning your fuel injectors and using higher octane, if that doesn't work, have the valve timing readjusted.

thats not pinging re-adjust the valve timing.

Bad quality if it's pinging run premium or advance timing don't do both! And valve adjustment is easy plus it's better to have them make a little noise then none at all
