     I could be confused on the terms used for noises  description but, the 
fact is that I misinterpreted the sound of a leaking  head, thinking it was 
some kind of pre-ignition.
The  engine has been loosing power  gradually so, at re tightening the  
left head it recovered  dramatically.
==================================================================


I once thought I blew a piston on a sandcar.....  6000 rpm   for 30 seconds 
and then BANG !   Whack whack.....towed it  back
 
Back at camp....did a compression test....one side was weak..20-30  psi...  
same find... lower nuts were loose.. found it as I went to remove  rockers to 
pull head... retorqued and  went back to the hill to race some  more!
