Recently rebuilt the heads due to a tuliped intake valve, all back together and was verifying the knock sensor was functioning. Used a timing light and had the motor warm and running at ~ 1800 RPMS on the muffs. One guy watching the light and tapped on the block, sure enough you could see it retard the spark and noticed a RPM drop. Waited a minute or so for it to return to normal RPM and it did not, once I dropped the throttle back to idle and repeated above same thing.
My question how long does the system keep the timing retarded? Or does one have to return to idle?
