Re: {Chrysler 300} Knocking

i don’t know about that . Right way is be sure you have true tdc mark on damper ( use a piston stop from each direction in #1 ), middle is tdc  then attach damper tape ( hot heads ) glue with weatherstrip adhesive , set timing to factory setting . Timing by ear etc can blow a hole in piston . be sure weights and springs are free . 
Dampers are known to slip on our cars ...

Another way to set timing is to attach a vacuum gauge to the intake. Warm car up, then adjust timing until gauge reads 18" Hg at curb idle. Then take it for a drive. If it's still pinging, retard a bit and try again.
