I had no problems at the track. I added a bottle of the race-only NOS octane booster and filled my tank before going. The octane was likely around 97-99. I was spraying a 100 shot at the time and kept full spark timing in ILLS' tune. I'm thinking its gas.

Yeah, I think that is about right. I know ford was making Flex Fuel vehicles in the late 90's, or at least I believe they where.

I don't know about that, but I do know that too much water in the gasoline will cause pinging. Apparently, there aren't any hard and fast rules about how much water a gas station can sell you instead of gasoline.

Yeah, and if they have ethanol in the fuel that carries a lot of water along

He stated it went away after an oil change... Would/ could it be a breakdown in the oil, something you couldn't see with the naked eye

I would suspect that at least one of the following is true:
1. It was the wrong weight or spec of oil.
2. The oil level was low.
3. The oil had been in way too long and was worn out.
4. There was coolant in the oil.
If that suspicion is correct, then the remaining life of the engine has certainly been shortened.

well our relationship would be so much better if you guys would stop letting all of you damn cold air from blowing across the border (which is still a lot better than what comes over our other border)
if it makes you feel any better, you should see how i talk about U-Pers, and they are part of my own state!
dont worry no matter what people say, America's hat will always be more loved that America's beard.

Agree with black that I come back here to kickback. I'm more hunched forward in awe of what I'm doing on the internet most of the time but I'm here to have fun.
Glad to hear you got the car back up to par, sub-par if there are still problems. Now that you mention the ticking stopped with an oil change, my old forum, Ford Truck Enthusiasts, it was a common topic that a low quality oil filter, Fram was was an example, could cause a ticking sound. I don't recall why but do you mind telling us what you were/are running in the car?

Now why would I want to do that, Ik ben niet gek, hoor!
That's right, lived in that country for twelve years of my life aswell.
Noordwijk aan Zee, used to explore the German bunkers along the Dunes.
Speak 2 more languages, 5 total if you count SQL and UNIX.
Been all over Europe as a younger lad. Lived in Spain for a summer aswell.
I'll leave cartoons and video games to your generation.
right now I have my hands full, checking the "interweb" for cyberbullying of Canadians
same thing, get's old, that Canadian thing!
Let's leave my a$$ out of it, or I'm going to have to get on you about your possible homosexual tendancies.
Whooaa horsie, Whooaa, don't be talking like that now, that's not funny nor healthy, can you imagine the withdrawls ?
... our recent crazzies have been from Canada ...
and today this crossed my mind several times over.
I agree ... can't help it, however, not all Canadians take prybars to trunks of luxury sports sedans.
The other Episode was the French speaking separatist to my left.
They don't even want to be Canadians, so that rules that one out.
I think we've had our fun for now.
Lets try and put a dampener on insulting others.
Wouldn't that make you feel as good ?

I agree, I've seen it. remember the guy with the "Can I fit 15" tires on 16" rims?" same question different thread, few days later.
I see how you guys are dealing with the same questions day in day out.
You can see it on the first and second pages, I mean the repeat question on the same problems.
over and over ... I understand the frusterations, yet you guys answer and help,
when you so easily could ignore it or blow them of by telling them to read or search then read.
I still see you guys answer those questions, kudo's to you's but don't make
it a life long project of sitting here answering the same repetitive questions either. as you said, it gets frusterating.
You know the search function returns an overwhelming amount of posibilities,
causing the new member with his first post to type "HELP, I have an xx LS V8 and my ..."
you know, no-one reads the "stickies" as they should.
rather then getting pissy with others and answering the same questions,
try perhaps, throwing them a link to a previous thread on the same problem.
I've seen that as well and it does help the troubled new-comers
Black, do me a favour ?
Can you please view this youtube clip ... see what's wrong with this picture ?
yes Homeland security is at an all time high and well justified but can you see
what's going on here ?
I cross the border many of times in my line of work and I know how it's done ...
My registration at the border actually gets me back and forth without any troubles at all, as a matter a fact,
they already know I will be showing up ahead of time, me, the truck and it's loads are already Fast-Approved and in the system.
but have a look at the video and see what can happen to regular people.
It's not cool man !

Skull paint job on it and all, thing flies.

Wow, glad I shut up the last time I came back from Windsor. Thought I was riding dirty, I was just with a group of friends hungover as all get out. My answers were not the best that day. It's hard to tell the guy that we were drinking and what not over there. When they took the dog in I said "oh man" and they questioned me on saying that. Just what I need, the dog's nails getting stuck in the "perforated" seats and ripping a hole in them.
