Re: Another tale of chasing knock
That’s not the end of the story.
BTW, want to thank General Disorder for his help on analyzing the injectors (Accels). As I said, one aerator was disintegrated and several other injectors (the LT-5 has 16), had bad spray patterns.
Once I got the motor put together and installed, I started tuning it. And then I started seeing KR again in the logs. Exasperating.
Long story short, I had to replace two secondary injectors and all 4 ignition coils. 3 of the originals had cracked casings and you could see the carbon tracking. This explained why my #2 plug was lily white. Pretty amazing how this motor runs even on 7 cylinders. 😂😂😂.
So this is a saga that runs over 2 years. The one thing about it is, that when the LT-5 runs well (especially modded ones) its an absolute blast to drive. It sounds like a big block only it revs > 7000rpm and just keeps pulling all the way up. You can surprise the crap out of many modern day machines thinking their dealing w a base C4 Corvette. The ZR-1 has very long legs. I like to think of it as the Secretariat of Corvettes.
