Well I got the new gasket in and....still leaked. So I said screw it and took that one and the old circle one, put some rtv on it to hold them together, and stacked them up and tightened them. That seems to be working pretty well.

Then I drove to publix and picked up some milk

But seriously, I am still getting some knock, even with the meth turned on, so Im not sure whats going on...

You got the wrong plugs, batman Those things ruined my stock 6.0. Get some BR7EF plugs and it will go away.

I thought shady machine work ruined your 6.0...

Eh, may as well, what did you gap your 7s at? I figured the 6s would be fine for under 10lbs of boost, which im seeing knock around 1psi and up, but its not really consistent.

Plugs ruined the stock 6.0. I gapped my 7s at .028. Just took it out for some tuning, doesn't start knocking til 17psi on 91, no meth.

Eh, I'd blame it on your tuner if it still knocks with the 7s...

id really like to see some of your logs to get a better idea of whats happening. it very well might not have anything to do with the plugs but itd sure make me feel alot better if you had some BR7s in there instead of the 6s
