I say fix and keep, but that also depends on the miles and such...but I would keep it if you love it!

Yea I mean this engine only has about 14,000 on it. And I do really like her. and Everyone around here loves her and the color and I guess with how much I have already put in her I should keep her cause I'll never get that back.

Basically it sounds to me like you did a great job on the top end...
So, a detonation failure is something you wouldnt expect...
I suspect... there might have been something a little sketchy that caused that to happen...

I would just be sure now to do a complete lower end rebuild as well!

That way everything matches...So, then you should be all set!

Glad you deceided to to rebuild her.
Lookn forward to hear when you get her back and up and running again..
You made the right choice.IMO
