in some case, the fan is not controller by the ECU (often in obd conversion). It may simply be activated by the thermoswitch.

On the very first pics, I could see aluminiums specs on the procelaine and some white spots ont the rim. At that point, I think you were a little bit too lean . This lean condition (hotter burn), mixed with the current timing map you had, could have lead to some preignition (alu specs). Adding more ...

talking of loading dyno. If you want to buy a dyno and can afford good money, have a lok to the Dynapack. that's what I have. it uses 4amps on 110v and is precise within 0.03% of error. meaning each pull will be measured the same. so if you see differences, thats means, there is a difference.
