It's been awhile now since I got my teener and I think I've begun to really figure this stuff out thanks to you 914World adicts. But, I do have a couple of inquisitions for the engine tweaker guru's...
1) What is the relationship (if there is one) between engine heat and timing? 2) What is the realtionship between A/F mixture and engine heat? 3) As oil temp goes up does oil pressure decrease? And finally...I finally got myself a real digital timing gun so I can truly check advance. I am running an 009 distro (I know Mallory or 050 would be better but no $ right now. I spent it all on my timing gun) and am trying to figure out just how bad it is. If someone else has a gun with adjustable advance would you be kind enough to tell me what your advance degrees are at; 1000 RPM 1500 RPM 2500 RPM Why do this? Because I don't think my distro is properly advancing and I need to see how far off it is. Hopefully this will help me find it's "happy place". |

take as many measurements as you can and plot the curve.... Advance VS RPM
and not all 009's are curved the same - LOL |

im sure you can find an advance chart on samba or shoptalk forums.
the grey/grey mallory spring combo has a steep advance curve that is in by 2900 rpm IIRC for what its worth.... (comparison data?) |

Too much advance =pinging and high heat
Too lean = higher engine temps Oil temps don't lessen oil pressure unless there is excessive wear. Attached image(s) ![]() |

That's some good info Geoff. Any chance you also have an advance chart of what a stock 2.0 is supposed to look like?

Oil temps do indeed change the oil pressure! This very much goes for oil that is cold (cold starting), but it also to a lesser extent goes for oil that gets hot. Oil thins as it warms up, and even though the oil pressure control springs try to maintain the pressure at a specific point, they can't really do that through the engine's whole operating range. And, of course, if the engine is working outside its normal operating range....

BTW - I've been all over your site looking for info on the 009 curve and it looks like nothing is there. I found this page - http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9.../914_timing.htm but I am having troubles identifying the distributor part #'s. Which one is the stock 2.0 distributor? |

(at 4000rpms) |

(at 4000rpms) If you're below 4000 RPM, the pressure can easily be lower. When the oil is colder, the pressure will be higher at (say) 2000 RPM; when the oil is warmer the pressure will be lower. And in my experience, very cold oil (cold-start) will have much higher pressure than 42 PSI. Actually, in my car the relief appears to open at about 50 PSI. --DD |
