Let’s see if I have this right.
PRE-IGNITION = Squeeze the fuel molecules so tightly (high compression) that they ignite on their own (before the spark plug fires.
DETONATION = Ignition of fuel and expanding gases is early and fighting piston travel. They slam into each other making a pinging noise.
I think the rod bearings would also take a beating.
