Cam Angel Sensor! Timing

[FlikRacing]

After a long search I cannot find much. or if i do find something it's dumb and not worth trying. I just got done with my motor is all back together rebuilt, Now How do I time the damn Sensor, I have it at TDC right now, is that where I start?:naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty:

Concentrate on steps 1, 2, 7 and 8.

Im good I set up the Cas so I can only advance it. I don't want to retard the timing, Right now it's on spec: if you go up it advances it thanks. I figured it out.

It should look like this:




Make sure the crank is pointing at "zero" and both cam gears are aligned to the index mark on the back plate.

so which is better, like the TSRM says, or like in the pic?

 

[jdub]

If you do it like the TSRM says, that's the way it should look

hmm guess timing isnt my problem then.

It helps if you SPELL your searches correctly.

Same applies to your thread titles.

Oh well..cant search "cam" anyways..or cps

 

[GrimJack]

Sure you can.

cam*

cps*

"cam position sensor"

 

[WhtMa71]

WHAT? you just put an asterisk behind it? neat..thanks

 

[FlikRacing]

Guess I did spell that wrong * Sorry. angle* anyhow I set it so you cannot retard the timing now, it works fine.:sarcasm:

 

[jdub]

Ummm...I'm not sure what you mean by "cannot retard timing". It really needs to look like the pic I posted...that puts the tightening bolt at about mid point in the CPS securing slot. You are going to need +/- to get your base ignition timing correct.

 

[Mk3runner]

meaning he is like a tooth or so off from having the cps completely center which would allow you to move it either way instead of one way.

which I might add means try again till you got the thing perfect and able to adj both ways.

[Frank Rizzo]

Just curious, FlikRacing, what did you set your base ignition timing at?

You know, that pesky eighth step.....

Doh!
