    How do i get rid of this knock?

    Been fighting this knock for a few days, in certain cells in the, not sure how to counter it. Sometimes the knock is random, other times the higher rpms. I don't really thing the timing is aggressive at all.
    any suggestions? any help works.

    What was the A/F when the knock was picked up? The O2 reading is over 1000 mv which is likely really rich.

    The a/f on the wideband is inaccurate. It's an. Lm2, despite all of the Excel spreadsheets, grounding to battery, chassis and voltage offsets, we still cant get it to read accurate. So we can't can't count on that.

    Based on the 02 voltage displayed as 1000 mv, could that be the cause of the knock? I was thinking the richness would cause it to be on the safe side. Around 84kpas at 4400 rpms is where the knock starts. Timing was previously around 26. And I've lowered it to about 22ish and still pick it up......anything less and i assume it would be a dog.

    You need a wideband you can trust before you can finish tuning it then worry about knock if there is any
