It's important to understand that gasoline engines require a spark plug because gasoline is more volatile than diesel so we ignite it earlier in the stroke compared to diesel which would combust at max compression. Gasoline would also combust at max compression but as I said, more volatile, so we ignite it early so that it doesn't give the full potential it would have when fully compressed. Like in a diesel.

In short, fuel/ air mixture doesn’t explode, it burns at 300 fps, and heat expansion pushes the piston down. An explosion from self ignition, from a hot spot on the piston or combustion chamber, or low octane fuel happens at 3000 fps. The knock or ping sound is your rod bearings slapping through the oil film and into your crankshaft. Ouch!

Not sure if everyone pays attention but I genuinely appreciate the effort and detail you put into these technical explanations 👏🏻 understanding why something happens helps so much more than just accepting the answer.
Knowing that molecules bumping into each other more is what causes the heat can be translated to other areas of science as well, so we're learning about more than cars now thanks to this level of detail 🙌🏻 huge respect

A question. Does a lean fuel mixture increase temperature to the degree that knock would occur and if so would tuning the fuel to air ratio richer in a car that has knock alleviate the problem? Assuming of course that you are alredy running high octane and the engine is otherwise working properly.
