Well, Paul, when you put it that way, I must concede that chamber
overpressure is not likely to be the cause unless there were already an

taking apart a 13B, just hadn't planned on doing it this soon. Guess
that would be a good time to revamp my intake manifold while I have it
down.

apex seal and spark plug insulators perhaps it can 
crack an O-ring wall."

We need to work on the detonation sensor problem. I have
