RE: pinging/ weird nose rear cylinder

Need more information: Idling? Acceleration? Metal to metal sound? A "tapping" sound or a "ringing" sound? Constant or only when firing? Pull the plug; does it look OK? Deposit color? Where exactly is the sound coming from; high/middle/low on cylinder...etc. ??
