Also, as compression goes up, so does the flame travel.. To answer your last question --- No, you don't have to "redo the process"... With the engine at correct idle speed, using your timing light, just back the timing down 2 - 3 degrees if you experience detonation.

This may be a really dumb question. But how does one know if they are experiencing detonation?
