I had some work done the car.
Car ran fine except it was blowing smoke.
The exhaust seal where changed and no more smoke, but now it pings at about 1700 to 2000 rpm under load.

 

If your rockers were not adjusted right then you would hear a tapping noise as oppose to a ping. How did you adjust your rockers?? Are they set loose?? How far past zero lash did you go?

 

It's not tapping it's pinging.
I believe he went less then half turn.

 

We went over this on the last post about pinging. Did you go and get your car scaned. We need some o2 reading and knock reading. What plugs are you runing?

 

As stated earlier have you scanned your car?? Pinging is usually in reference to detonation. I know with 93's some people desensitize there knock modules to prevent timing being pulled due to false knock.

 

If you where burning oil in the past you could have a carbon build up in the compustion cambers and on top of the pistons. Run some top end cleaner (seafoam) through the engine and see if that helps.

 

I will do that today.

Yes she was scanned and nothing out of the ordinary.
She takes a while to go to closed loop, but I associate that
with headers and non heated o2 sensors. The plugs NGK TR55, I think I will pull one off to see if they got caked up from the intial smoking problem.

Thanks for your help guys.
I will keep you posted.
