For a Otto cycle engine detonation is usually bad.

From my hotrod days I remember things like bent valves and crank rods, shattered pistons and blown heads.

All makes for a bad day.

That’s what doomed the GM diesel conversions back in the 80’s.
They tried to make dirsel engines from gas engine blocks and cranks, etc. True diesel engines are made with much much higher grade materials......
