GGR,

I am not sure if the chatter didn't occur in colder climate but it didn't happen so often for sure.
I can't ignore it any more.
If chatter is preignition the fuel quality can be a reason, maybe also the leaking oil through the valve seals (I'll change them soon).
If preignition is still there after valve stem seals change I could dial back the timing at the distributor.
