Hello Alan,
What type fuel is avail over where you are in Asia? 
Here in California we still have 91 octane.  I haven't
heard people talk about pinging engines.  Anyone?
Regards,

Jake -
....Get low compression pistons... original pistons
run at too high compression and require octane boost
to run smoothly.  8.5:1 is what you want for
compression.  I think 9.3:1 is original.....
