trailling causing problems

My car gets really bad spark knock when I have trailling plugs on. I didn't have this problem till I rebuild engine (blew coolant seal). Put engine back in now I have this problem. I have to unhock the Igt-T to get them to stop and the car work excellent no knock. I check the timing 15 times and it looked good. I tried changing trailling map to see if it would go away. Any suggestion The only thing change in the rebuilt were coolant seal and middle iron ( piece broke out in O-ring grove). The middle iron was out of a NA so port are smaller but I don't think that would cause the problem.

I gave up trying to fix it just hooked tach up to the leading coil. Car works great on just leading don't know what the trailling does but I feel no difference. I tried a timing light on the trailing plug they are way out can't even see any timing marks. I think they are firing backwards. Double checked everything can't seem to fiqure it out. All I changed was the engine no other setting or wires.

Have you tried to reload the firmware,possibly it might have been corrupted?

Have you confirmed that both trailing plugs are firing? Just slap on a timing light and see which plugs are firing.

If they are not, I will refer you to a thread where I ran into something similar - wound up being a setting that 'changed' during an update past 029t.

I reloaded the code and checked all my wires still can't find nothing. I going to build a second vr circuit and try that setup vs the missing tooth. For now I will just run leading seems to work just fine that way.
