100kms plus after finishing my valve adjustment I pulled my plugs to inspect them as I had a feeling she had spark knock on acceleration, have I set my timing one tooth too advanced and getting detenation? I will try and attach pictures of my spark plugs. Thanks

I'm not sure how to set the ing. timing I think it's set with the crank position sensor and the ECU. What did you set " one " tooth ahead ? The valve timing ?

I think i worked out the problem, recently changed out my plugs and was sold DPR7EA-9 instead of DPR6EA-9. The 1700cc engine does not like the colder plug, changed out the cold plugs today and put the recommended plugs back in and went for a ride without any issues
