Prangy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ok. So I have read many of times that someones honda is having like octane knock and all that. I know what the knock and eveyrthing means, but why does it happen, and then higher octane gas fixes it. Just want a general idea. Thanks guys.

Kastigir Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Octane knock is detonation...which is bad. Lower octane gas burns at a lower temperature. If it's igniting inside your engine, before it's supposed to...that's bad. Increasing the octane raises the ignition temperature...no more knock.
