Hi Folks, I have a new engine still in the break-in period, nearly to the 500 mile oil change. I've started driving it harder, but I'm worried that I'm hearing knocking / pinging under load at high RPMs. I'm very familiar with how the VW inline-4s sound when pinging, but not so sure about the wasserboxer. Are they prone to it like the i-4s? The sound i'm hearing is pretty subtle, but that may be due to road noise covering it up. If it's not pinging, is there some other high frequency noise that might be coming at very high throttle / high load?
