Sound like it is pinging. What kind of noise. Does it sort of sound like marbles rattling in a can.
As stated above, double check the firing order as well.
You could try kicking the timing back a few degrees if you dont find anything. I think you said you said you were starting at 18, go back to 12 or so and see if it gets better
