A THOROUGH study of the problem has convinced the authors that preignition causes more aircraft-engine failures than detonation does.It has also brought them to the conclusion that the spark plug is the most common cause of this phenomenon, the combustion-chamber deposits the second cause, and the exhaust valve the least common cause.
