Well, I'm not really financially in a position to be breaking the motor down
at this point.  I will attempt the injector cleaner/deposit remover route
for now.

	Yep.  Remove all sharp edges from the combustion chamber, except the
spark
	plug
	electrode.  If any threads from the spark plug or spark plug hole
show then
	the
	spark plug needs to be adjusted to have these covered.  Excessive
carbon
	deposits will cause pre-ignition since they can get red-hot -- fuel
	additives
	help reduce these.
