Paul,

It could be that most of the posters took the OP at his word in the first post; "Now that the car is together I get nasty detonation at 2500rpm." . Assuming that it was Detonating, people can jump to conclusions…….

If posters were able to hear the engine and not go by the op's diagnosis, they may have come up with a different cure? No?

only if someone doesn't know better.

People can express their opinion but then some make declarations.

It seems like quite a few folks were confident in their "guesses". Would've been a LOT of work and cost if the OP had followed through.
