the piston is the same colour as the other four pistons, if it were lean it would show on the piston colour, there would be less carbon build up etc..

if it were detting then it would have flashed the light and knock link previous to this etc and there is no det evidence on any of the pistons, or the heads..

I have just looked at the engine not the pictures btw

What about the minimal carbon build up on the cylinder head for number 3 cylinder, also i did mention to you that the knock link & cel light have flashed up before
