Title: Anybody here blow up engine by running too advanced?
Post by: rallydiesel on March 16, 2008, 08:30:59 pm

Just wondering if anybody here has actually put a hole in a piston/bent a rod/etc. by running too advanced? My engine is a tad advanced but it runs so nice. The rattle isn't too bad but I just want to know if I should retard it a bit.
