can be alleviated by using a fuel with a higher octane rating or by decreasing<br />

the effective compression ratio. The latter can be done by using a thicker<br />

head gasket or a decompression plate. More satisfactory solutions include<br />

removing metal from cylinder head to increase the volume <strong>of</strong> the<br />

combustion chamber, or better yet replacing pistons with ones that result<br />

in a lower compression ratio. Water injection into the cylinder can also<br />

help.<br />
