What is the detonation and knocking in cars?

When an engine runs as it should the fuel/air mix in the combustion chamber ignites at the spark plug and the flame front spreads from there. In an engine that's knocking there are hotspots in the combustion chamber causing the fuel/air mixture to ignite prematurely a bit all over the place.


What is the difference between preignition and detonation and how do they cause engine damage?

They are the same thing. They cause damage by applying the force of combustion to the piston before it has reached the top of its stroke, which basically pushes it "backwards"

Why is diesel is not used in petrol engines?

Because diesel is ignited of heat and high high compresion not a spark on lower compresion petrol engine. If you use diesel in a petrol you will end up with your engine knocking and pre-detonation followed by your engine blowing up pretty bad.

Why is your vortec 5.0 knocking?

It could be: A. worn rod or main bearings. If that's the case you'll have low oil pressure. B. a faulty "knock sensor" that's supposed to retard the engine timing when it detects early ignition detonation.
