The FNG Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I had to do some work on my loyale recently which involved removing the timing belts. I reinstalled them and went to set the timing, but can't get it better than 18* BTDC even after redoing it to check that I wasn't 1 tooth off. I probably still am 1 tooth off. Are ther any issues or foreseeable problems with running the engine this way other than obvious performance losses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 is it pinging? i drove mine for awhile like that before i decided to time it correctly. did it like it? no. even less power? yes. permanent damage? none that i can tell. id fix it tho, its not that hard and these things are slow enough to begin with.

The FNG Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ya, it's got a little ping. It's been a project for so long that I just want to drive it. I think I may wait to fix it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If you're at the end of the slot for timing the disty, someone may have had the disty out and installed it a tooth or two off. Mines that way, at the end of the slot. Just,, made 20* BTDC. Plan is to reset disty, but not right now. Got other issues to adress 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ya, it's got a little ping. It's been a project for so long that I just want to drive it. I think I may wait to fix it for now. If it's pinging it's not that fun to drive, down on power, and real potential for damage to the motor. At least put premiuem fuel in it. If it's pinging it will run hotter too and could possibly take out a head gasket... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The FNG Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 It's not really a "ping", more of a "tick" or a "tap" I am assuming that would be a ping from improper detonation. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
