=================================================

Basically YES.   Rough spots in the casting of the chamber, oil deposits , 
carbon deposits [ less frequent with our current fuels]  all tend to 
GLOW......too much will actually cause pinging while driving....

Advancing initial timing [ idle] keeps the cylinder walls cooler, and slower 
idle speed draws less air/ fuel.
