timing da wankel
leading timing should be 5* at top dead center. everyone keeps telling me i have to set the timing light/gun to 0* (zero) degrees advance on the gun. if so, why? i dont get it. i thought you just set the gun to whatever the timing should be, turn the distributor/crank angle sensor and voula.

will someone just eplain to me please the whole process of timing an s4, n/a rx7! i had to take the cas out becuase the hold down stud broke, so i had to drill it out and tap it. i lined the leading mark up to top dead center (where the mark on the pulley is lined up with the timing indicator on the front cover) then i lined up the dot on the cas gear with the line on the cas body, put it in... now what is next? i have to start all over with the timing, wich means i have to sit in the car and turn it over and someone has to move the cas untill it start and keep moving it till it sounds decent, then i need to get the timing light out... what do i need to set the timing light to, to time it?

you get the stupid pick up attach it to front rotor leading. and set your marks, it says in the book. leave the gun on zero. the **** is only if you want to advance it. if you turn the **** to lets say 20 dagrees and then if you set your timming marks it will be at 20 dagrees. so just leave the **** at zero and set your timming mark and if you took out the cas here is a link to if you have taken it out.
