Well I thought bout it but I just cant bring myself to kill another american made car.
I've said it once, and I will say it agan,
IMPORT > DOMESTIC
But in the meantime, here's a suggestion:
Try being more retarded.
I'm assuming that it's ignition knock, by the way. If it's your rods or lifter tick, well... then you're screwed. Heavier oil will help cover it up, but the problem is nowhere near solved.
Try retarding your timing. Most things on domestic cars are manufactured and engineered by retards, so pretty much everything on the car is retarded, but sometimes they'll forget the timing.
Translation: check the timing, and don't buy cheap gas. 87 is fine, just get it from a decent gas station, like mobil or sunoco. Also, make sure that your engine isn't running too hot, and make sure you have enough coolant. Mind you that most newer engines have anti-knocking systems, but the ECU can only retard timing so much. If the gasoline detonates, then the ECU can't do a damn thing about it.
