When we rebuilt the 73 1.7, I wanted to re-use the D-Jet so we put just the next step up from stock, Web Cam and lifters in the motor...
I have advanced the timing just a little to get rid of the clatter but it's still there if I really get on it... Should I continue to advance the timing or should I retard it ??? Already using 92 octane... 2-OH! |

Did you correctly complete valve train geometry, or are you just expecting to toss the cam and lifters in and go from there.
Making ANY camshaft alteration REQUIRES the valvetrain geometry to be reset and that means non stock pushrods must be used. |
