Re: High compression engine and pinging

Bottom line is that for a couple hundred bucks you can do a head swap if you shop around and use stock parts. People are practically giving away old casting 350 heads. A quick valve job and resurface and 50 bucks in gaskets and your back on the road without risk of melting or shattering a piston. Your going to probably end up detuned to the point the engine will run like sh!t and not even be worth bothering to go wide open throttle anymore to finally get the pinging to stop with the heads you have currently
