Looks like Oldsman followed my cleaning/porting pictures for the most part.

Ok I just wanted to put a final update to give the results.
Running a 3.4 pulley at WOT I am getting 0.0 KR
. Under partial throttle conditions I am getting 2 degrees. I am guessing this is false due to a broken motor mount ( I am fixing it this weekend ) . I am going to order a 3.3 pulley once I make sure the 2 degrees of knock I am getting is fixed, overall I am satisfied with the results.

You can't scan for KR this time of year and expect to have any useful data. You have to scan in the warmer temps of late spring and early summer at LEAST.
Zero KR now could be 10 degrees in the summer.

was reading 80 degrees during the test as well. I CAN scan for KR in the winter because if I am getting 3 degrees of knock in the winter I might get 25 in the summer. I own a scanner and will continue to scan as it gets warmer. But I appreicate your concern
. Oh and one more thing I have 10% ethanol in my gas in this state . :?
