if it makes the noise while at idle, then its not detonation. Detonation happens when the car is under load. The more load, the more detonation.
I screwed up Miata engine #1 (worse than it already was screwed up) by accidentally setting the timing to 22 degrees BTDC. It sounded like a tin can drumroll everytime I stepped on the accelerator and the power was way down. Of course i drove it like that for 3 weekends on track.......
