    a bad mechanic working on it can cause parts to fail too

    agreed if its the same wheel bearing then its probably mechanic error, and the first owner must of been ruthless on it. or you can blame it on the frame lol

    I'd get a way to scan bruh. That's like havin a 3.2 puley on a gen 3. I'd bet ur gettin upwards of 8+ degrees of KR. Each degree is taking away 5 HP. Not to mention the risk of droppin a piston in ur oil pan. U should def invest in a aeroforce gauge.

    Seriously, get an Aeroforce, its Sex.

    I didnt think I was knocking on my 3.4 on my Gen 3 before my headers, because "it ran so damn good"

    Well turns out I was grabbing 4-5degrees at WOT.
    Headers, and colder plugs later, no knock at all.

    But you'd be way way better getting it scanned, and staying off the throttle, then going knock knock knock BAM..

    There's a sticky on kR in one of the sections. Lots of good info. But basically KR is when ur fuel ignites before its supposed to due to really high internal temps created by excessive boost in ur caseit usually occurs under heavy throttle. KR is the worst thing u can have in our cars. The preignition of fuel in ur cylinder can cause massive damage. I.E. Blowing ur pistons into pieces. Ur car does have a knock sensor which will cut timing when KR is detected but that doesn't mean ur safe. U have currently have mods to run a 3.6 safely. Just tryin to look out. I've shattered 3 pistons in the past due to KR. Trust me its no fun!

    im not trying to be a d*** i do appreciate the concern and input but yall always make it sound like ima blow up my engine and i have no idea what im doing. I know all about the knocking retards, the coil theory is going to be tested. I consider it a theory bc no one can generate #s of proof(not saying you all are wrong) but i like to see things with me own eyes

    3.4" on a GenV is a 3.2" area on a GenIII...

    So, good luck with just headers.
