Another great article discussing among other things the causes and effects of carburrettor icing and detonation and preignition.

http://www.free-online-private-pilot...owerplant.html

Scroll down to Induction Systems and Ignition Systems....

It seems that using high boost and low RPM is a real engine killer - resulting in detonation and preignition. This creates excessive heat and large forces on the piston and rods while still in the compression phase.

Some good info on turbo and superchargers too, including the damage that can be caused by turning the engine off before the turbocharger has had a chance to spin down and cool a bit. Not relevant now but I have high hopes for some US types in the near future.
