What is per-ignition????

Pre-ignition:

        Is the ignition of the homogeneous mixture in the cylinder, before the timed ignition spark occurs, caused by the local overheating of the combustible mixture? For premature ignition of any local hot-spot to occur in advance of the timed spark on the combustion stroke it must attain a minimum temperature of something like 700-800 degree centigrade.

·         Pre-ignition is initiated by some overheated projecting part such as the sparking plug electrodes, exhaust valve head , metal corners in the combustion chamber, carbon deposits or protruding cylinder head gasket rim

·         However, pre-ignition is also caused by persistent detonating pressure shock waves scoring away the stagnant gases which normally protect the combustion chamber walls. The resulting increased heat flow through the walls raises the surfaces temperature of any protruding poorly cooled part of the chamber, and this there-fore provides a focal point for pre-ignition.
