RE: Timing? By RC Moser - 08/26/2000 2:25:14 AM; IP 205.188.198.181 Cris, I'd first do a compression check see it any valves are leaking. You have to have enough cylinder pressure (usually 150 PSI or more on a new engine depending on the altitude) to have Torque or HP. Their are several different lengths of pushrods available to adjust valve lash hence their is no adjustment on the FE style rockers. You might have too long a pushrods causing the valves to bleed of the cylinder pressure causing lack of power due to lack of compression? Does the engine backfire? how much vacuum is it pulling (should be at least 17" 19" or 20" at 750 RPM is norm)? With NO 1 TDC on the compression stroke where is you rotor button pointing (should be just before the NO. 1 port on the cap due to you initial timing set around 8 to 10 degree? What is your initial timing set on (Should be around 8 degree)? maybe this will help some. RC

This thread, so far...
