Re: Could me engine timing be inaccurate

Your best bet is to set your initial timing at 12 degrees.
Leave it there!
Lock it down and leave it there!
If you keep setting your timing at high numbers like 35 at 2000 rpm you’ll cause damage to your pistons!

My plan is not to set it at 35 at 2000 RPMs.

Blueprints directions do not say to set it at 12 and leave it there.

I'm just trying to get advice on following their specs. Not create new specs.
