[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 688548, member: 16241"] You'll see the see the signs of detonation on the plug LONG BEFORE you'll hurt the engine. If you see those signs you really need to deal with it immediately, not after you turn two cylinders into paper weights. Losing ONE cylinder to a faulty CDI during a race is something that you can't always avoid. Losing a second one to the same cause is just a turning a blind eye to a problem. You can't blame the OEM for that. ;) That's just piss-poor judgement on the mechanics part. Anytime you break parts it's worth taking the time to determine WHY. It's really crazy to put the engine back together without understanding why it failed in the first place because chances are good it will fail again. You don't have to be a mechanic to look at the plug at the end of practice. Doing something as simple as that can catch problems before they turn into major issues. [/QUOTE]
