I'm not sure is this is worthy of advance tech. But since no other relevent forms can answer. I gues that would make this advanced tech.

I just put a hot cam, aluminum rockers and pushrods in my engine, along with a LTCC conversion, and it sounds great!
Problem is I'm getting 3 to 4 degrees of knock retard most of the time I'm accelerating. and just about any time I go over 1/2 throttle, I get about 1000 knock counts. And yes I have a lt4 knock module.

I geuess my questions are.

1. what is a lot of knock?

2. should I expect more knock immediately after replacing engine components?

 

Yeh this should really be discussed in an engine tech forum. Transferring thanks.

 

One thing to determine is if it is real or false knock. I would add some high octane (100 OR HIGHER) gas and see if it persists, have you had it tuned yet for the hott cam?

 

if your car is running right and tuned, you should get 0 knock retard at WOT.
