Both depending on how bad you have it

The best i can tell you is it is like a can of small stones being shaken lightly

You'll know it when you hear it. Your heart will break and your car will be sad.

the SVTf has a mild "tick" sound from the more aggressive cams. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Knock is ... is like experiencing a big gulp of a month old jug of orange juice... [8]

Have you been using 91 lately?

Sometimes my car experiences deto', sometimes it's as happy as can be'. I don't get it. Even more interesting, it happens a little more going uphill, and taking turns somewhat aggressively. Any thoughts'? And yes, I do get that "can of rocks" symptom. However, it's more like ONE pebble and slides from one side to the other, and that's it. 'Hardly any shaking. Should I be worried?

Maybe something broke loose. You SHOULD be using at least 91 all the time.

Try putting higher octane in it? and see if it goes away. In addition, get a J&S
