Thread: timing troubles

Tweet

First, thanks for the replies- second, I put a new dampner on and double checked that tdc was on the mark on the dampner and thought I had the dots on the gears lined up but I went for 12 o;clock and 12 o'clock instead of
6 & 12 and then turning the gears to get #1 lined up. Guess I got the dots out of line more than I thought. Will go back and check it all from the get go before I start tearing into it, though. Also, with having to advance timing as much this time it sounds like the cam has more lope to it than previously had. Is this another sign that my marks are off from being put in straight up?

6 and 12 or 12 and 12, no difference, but you need a straight edge to be sure. More margin for error with the marks farther apart, all right. The cam seeming more lopey will be from the timing being out.

Did you put a new timing set in?
