bbewekim 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Hi, if the cars timing has been advanced for extra bhp, any tuners in Gloucestershire who can adjust it back? And what cost? Can it be done by myself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted September 24, 2010 anyone with a 10mm spanner :lol: (two 10mm bolts holding the distributor in place) you need a timing light, so if you don't have one then any loacal garage should be able to sort you out, base ignition timing is 6 deg advance +/- 1deg at idle the flywheel has a TDC and a 6 deg mark and it's best to set the timing up from here as the belt pulleys aren't as accurate (but near enough), you just remove the bung in the top of the gearbox bell housing and point your timing light in there, the casting of the 'hole' in the top of the gearbox has a little 'V' in the casting to set the flywheel mark to. In all this I'm assuming the ECU hasn't been 'chipped' to give more advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
