Update on 2.0l 8V Swap

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

Well, it must be cause there is no evidence of any damage to the valves or
any marks on the pistons indicating a valve head had been bouncing around in
there for any length of time.
So, the next question is how do you induce detonation in a stock engine and
then not notice it?
Stupid question! I'd notice, but I guess a lot of people wouldn't.

PS. How the hell old are you, ya old crock??
