timing set off by a tooth?

how bad would it run? i just stepped up from the 306 to a custom cam and its getting some strange knock retard...
i'm pretty sure its correct.

i would think you would have some piston to valve clearence problems if it was off.

Re: timing set off by a tooth?

Depending on which direction it was off, some indications might be- idling somewhat ok, but has no power and falls on it's face under a load. Proper idle can be hard to judge with a bigger cam.

well it seems to idle better then the 306 did, and i havent really tuned it much.


i guess theirs no way to figure out if its correct without having to actually look at the timing set?


here the post about the knock problem

well it doesnt seem as fast as the old setup... i still have some work on the tune, and who know how accurate my assometer is.

i'll probably take it to the track this weekend and see how it does.
