Understanding Engine Knocking Causes by Zuhairi Iylia Zulkafli is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Knocking in an internal combustion engine occurs when fuel ignites explosively due to high pressure and temperature from normal combustion, rather than the spark from the spark plug. This explosive ignition causes a metallic "pinging" sound and can damage the engine over time if allowed to persist. Knocking becomes more likely as ignition timing is advanced, with lower octane fuel, poor engine design, or high air and coolant temperatures. Using higher octane fuel or reducing temperatures can help suppress k
