Re: Re Delorean went BOOM

I realized I "misspoke" when I used the word [backfire}. You are
correct it is more accuratly applied to when the combustion pressure
comes out the intake. Unfortunatly once you hit [send] it is too late
to change anything! The point I was trying to make is the same anyway
which, as you agree, the timming of either the valves or distributer
is way off to allow the combustion to escape prematurely. This can
become dangerous because it can cause pieces to come apart and go
flying. It can also damage your hearing besides damaging parts of the
motor.
