I bought a rear door from a 68 115 years ago to
replace the crashed one on my 73 220D. The
replacement door was far off. It was not even close
to fitting. Don't know why. Still have the damaged
door on the car ten years later. I'll end up just
repairing it when I get a chance.

Detonation occurs in the combustion chamber, opposite the spark plug. As
the
flame front burns across the chamber, heat pressure builds up until the
remaining gas explodes. With higher compression, you already have more
stored heat in the charge, making detonation more likely.

FWIW, on my last evening in Hawaii, the price of RUG is now $2.81.
Immediately went up from $2.70 after the Tax Relief Law expired..
Diesel is $3.44 ..
Hope that makes everyone feel better...The good news is that
it is Beautiful in Hawaii..

start and no dice. (She didnt kill the battery, just got annoyed). I

You wrote about octane and detonation:
making it more likely to detonate rather than burn smoothly
across the chamber. In essence you are adding a heavier component to make
it burn slower to reduce the problem of detonation
Hi Royce,
Is that your way of saying the higher octane detonates
Is that your way of saying the higher octane detonates later and
therefore closer to the time when the piston reaches TDC - or almost? -
I thought he was saying it was that the higher octane fuel was harder
to burn, and therefore was less likely to start burning in the wrong
places.
