Super Unleaded was 98 Ron - Optiplex is slightly higher. It could be that your timing is slighly retarded and needs adjustemtn to run on the higher octane provided by Optiplex. I run my 2.8 S1 on Optiplex with Castrol Valve master additive - belt and braces as my heads have toughned valve seat accdording to the Stamp on the manifolds. Regards Alan B
