i plan on looking at my timing and possibly advancing it (i think thats why i am running so rich lately)
i finally got the big *** plastic fan shroud cover off, now how to i get the fan off? i see 4 nuts behind the fan, but is there any way to just take off the fan clutch and slide the fan off? help help

 

how come your taking off your shroud and fan to adjust your timing?

 

cause i couldnt see ****. i got the fan off, how do i actually change the timing?

 

do you know how to hook up the timing light? After that you just loosen the crank angle sensor nut..and turn the CAS to retard or advance your timing. If you not sure on how to hook up the light i can transfer what is says in the factory service manual to you.

 

i have NO YELLOW mark on my crank pulley... um i'm thinking this is a bad thing...

 

hmmm...alot of times when the marks start to wear..people will make a mark in it with a chisel...nothing like that? its not all that bad really...i think that the yellow one is so many inches...centimeters...from the red mark...maybe someone can check for ya and u can make a reference mark..

 

i dont have a timing light. i was gonna be hardcore and just do trial and error...

 

there are no marks...

 

so all i have to do is take out the cas and turn it counter clockwise to advance it? how far can i turn it safely.

 

i think it would be stupid to do it without a timing light, I KNOW it would be stupid.

 

not take it out...but loosen the nut the holds the CAS in place..its a 10mm i believe. I believe its clockwise to advance it...be careful about advances it to far...not want any detonation.

yeah id have to go w/ya on that one..but its his engine...

 

ok we hooked up a timing light and it looks like the timing marks are off by like more than half an inch

 

should i just take off the cover that is over the CAS and loosen the nut, turn it counter clockwise with trial and error til they line up?

 

if thats your only option (your missing your yellow mark correct?)...then yes go for it..but id go in small incriments and be very cautious..someone else might be able to to clarify...but i think you need to jump the initial set b/c the ecu will just reset the timing...i might be wrong though..

 

uh we changed the timing and got it to par.
