i know the temp in egypt is hot but when i run with my car at high speed and this knocking happen was at 2 am and the temp was 15cgraham savage wrote:You should also remember that the car is in Cairo, the weather is very hot there and this will contribute to a knocking condition.
I would retard the timing, you have lost lots of power by advancing it so far.

Try retarding ignition timing ever so slightly, use a "7" heat range single prong NGK spark plug with a gap smaller than 0.7mm and try using higher octane. Try that for starters.
