I think I figured out why I can't BHG.

Thought the base timing might have been off, so I broke out the timing gun.

Sure enough, for some reason base timing was sitting at 0 degrees. :1zhelp:

So I bumped it back to about 10ish...


I think I'll BHG within the next 200mi.

I haven't test driven it hard yet, but what kind of power difference can you make from 0 degrees base timing to 10 degrees? :rofl:

Prolly a lil' bit!

I can't BHG too. But my timing is right.. Hmm.

My stock gasket is holding up good, 13psi for 18 months now.

If you think your timing is retarded I set mine when I put my car back together as per TSRM must have moved a tooth as I put the CPS back in, car was flat as a fart. Put the timing gun on it 10* after tdc:nono:

10 degrees???.....mamby pamby....

When you get to around 15 or 16 degrees leme know...

I used to run 15 with C16 back in the day with no real benefit... but that was like 20psi on a upgraded CT.

I've done numerous 20+psi pulls on the GT4088 now with a toyota HG toyota bolts at 72ft/lbs.

We'll see!

New stock bolts torqued to 72lbs/ft, new head gasket and 18,000 miles without a hitch.

you guys must have jzs if you dont have bhgs and rod knock

 

[supraguy@aol]

Moving timing from 0 btc to 10 btc should make a huge difference to your initial responsiveness.

 

[LilMissMkIII]

I can't BHG my 7M either, but everything is setup fine....

Not that I'm complaining!!!!!!!
