So in the days between his email to me and and his reply to you, either you or by some fantastical coincidence someone else, told the Clevite guy all about the S65s and its infallible anti knock system.
Doesn't really matter - he was told detonation was impossible and had to change his opinion...while still managing to fit in that " long term, low level detonation could cause that exact type of bearing wear"

Wouldn't this be fairly easy to verify by someone like Bike Benvo? We are in CA, 91 octane is the highest we get, it's pretty warm, pretty easy to duplicate detonation if indeed it's plaguing our rod bearings.
Why don't you send him a PM.
