the engine will handle a little detonation here and there, but anything significant will break something.

Are you building this engine yourself? If so, you'd better be doing a lot of research on how to do it or you're likely to run into expensive mistakes.

No. Im not doing the build myself but its good to know stuff like this anyway. So i can ask my builder more tech questions rather than "can you make my motor run good?" LOl
