Remember trace detonation, headgaskets and bearings

[KasaRyan at aol.com]

Hiya Bruce, do you have your heads back on with new gaskets yet, or did you 
tear the entire motor down?  I am now getting a rattle from deep within and 
more vibration than I think should be acceptable when the engine is cold.  I 
am wondering if 2 years of too much advance may have hammered the bearings. I 
have now 2000 miles after blowing the headgaskets.  I have plenty of oil 
pressure - 60+ hot.  It has been buttfreezing cold and I am thinking about 
getting rid of the extra advance the cold table provides.  I am running the 
stock TBI timing curve plus 8 crank degrees.  If anyone has any clues let me 
know.  I don't think I will have any problems starting or running even with 
removing most of the added advance.  Also, is the cold table just used while 
the engine is in open loop?

Thanks for listening to my electroyappin!
