among others i have a fiat panda 4x4, 87', its the high compression 999 (9.8 CR instead of the later 9.5 -- changed over at chassis #4112 510 -- so its *supposed* to use super unleaded/leaded 98 instead of 95 ron). however, during that annoying petrol crisis all my local garages ran out so i had to tank up with 95.
late for a meeting so doing 80-85 and detonates on a slight hill, removing the spark plug from the head, taking the thread in the head with it. is there likely to be any damage aside from the melted head? pistons perhaps? its still compressing to some degree, but cant test obviously.
ive sourced a supposed good 999 head of an injection uno L reg. not bought it yet but close to. do any of you know of any differences between the two heads, and also what fiat changed to adjust the CR when they lowered it in late 87? was it the pistons or something with the head. would i fit my dizzy on there, or is the one on it the same?
i know its long winded. sorry. any advice would be good.
