Reply to "Question about expansion tank cap"

That is my plan. Unless I have an issue, the plan is to drive and enjoy the car.

My next things on my checklist are adjust the valves, detail the interior, finish dialing in the rear decklid mounting, give the paint job a good buffing, fix all the new scratches that happened from all the work we did, and just drive and enjoy the car.

I do have a question though. IF the timing were too advanced (which I do NOT think it is) can that cause pinging at around 3000rpm under no load?

I keep hearing tiny little ping or tink noises when I'm going up through the gears easily, under basically no load, and was wondering if this could acutally be pinging, or of it was more to do with the injection (which I think it is). Throttle is basically feathered and rpms rising lightly as I go up through the gears, and I hear these tiny tink sounds when a car is next to me (reflecting the sounds back at me).

The timing seems pretty dead on, it starts perfectly, idles down perfectly, so my thoughts are it's just the injection doing it's thing and I'm just learning about the noises my car makes.

Again, the car runs sweet, so I'm not all eager to run off and play with the timing, I was just wondering if the engine can ping under no load?
