Pinging/Vapor Lock?

You give zero details, really. no static compression ratio, no cranking compression readings. Where is initial and total timing set? "WHERE" is the cam installed? 4* advanced tells us nothing. The LSA is 108 ( I assume) so 4* advanced FROM THERE would be 104 ICL. What did the degree wheel say? ...and if your answer is "I didn't degree it" then I am out, because you don't KNOW where it is and no amount of advice will be correct, I don't care who gives it. The more info you give UP FRONT the better answers you'll get.
Rusty, don't hold back......why don't you take off the gloves and tell him how it really is??????????:rofl::poke:
