loud ping from engine.
I heard a loud ping come from the engine when I was at idle yesterday. It was like a hammer hitting a cat iron pan. I put it on the trailer and want be able to take it out till next week end. It is a 525efi with around 60 hours. Any ideas?

Re: loud ping from engine.
i am glad your motor seems ok but your logic made me smile...
"hmmm whats that potentially disasterous noise in my motor ? well ill just find out by putting it under massive maximum dynamic load.... if explodes i guess it was bad after all.... "
not busting your balls but seems that next time a more conservative diagnostic approach might save you some cash and time... you got lucky this time...

Re: loud ping from engine.
all i can say is thank you. it was guys like you that allowed me to retire early. my sincerest thanks. i encourage all others to treat their hardware with this philosphy so that the people in the business of fixing it can keep getting rich.
geeze... you treat your hardware with logic that makes stupidity seem like a virtue...
let that macho flow... at the same rate the dollars leave your wallet
