That's correct but, the engine speed changes when it warms-up. Since the timing is checked at certain RPM, it should be checked on a warm engine, especially at idle. Haha. Only the idle speed changes. 3200 rmp is 3200 rpm. hot or cold. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I will time it cold to get it running well and then again when it warms up. I got the dizzy out, by the way. The plate was hanging up on the tin, but it felt like the drive was hanging up in the shaft. I was very much relieved to see no brass shavings and the drive was indexed right where it is supposed to be. Now, I just need to pop the valve cover to make sure it is tdc for 1, rather than 2. Is there a better way to tell that doesn't involve spilling oil all over my heat exchanger?

It's a 1.8 L-Jet so the timing is checked at idle or 850RPM (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |
