Project Ford F-100 Pings After Engine Alterations
Don seeks fixes for pinging in a 1979 Ford F-100 after increasing compression. Ray Magliozzi notes the likely cause is higher compression raising cylinder temperatures and suggests checking the EGR, not cooler plugs or thermostats. Options include higher octane fuel or retarding timing, with a warning to expect ongoing tinkering.
