Terry,
I have just set my cam up on the 3rd setting, 8 degrees advanced (in
theory...not taking into account milled-down head and chain stretch)
Why shouldn't you run the cam this far advanced?
The NISMO option cam sprocket goes to 9 degrees advanced and 12 degrees
retarded, and the works engines use stock timing gear and tensioner.
Unfortunately I don't have a dial gauge to find out exactly how much advance
I am running, but I thought is would be a pretty common modification to get
extra mid-range grunt out of the L-series engine
I haven't run the engine yet, it is due to go in very soon though...
Regards,
Nick
P.S I found a cam-sprocket on a very stock looking 200b at a U-pull type
place . It has about 10 machined holes instead of the standard 4 cast-in
ovals. It looked 'all shiny' so I took it home.
It turned out to be about 10 or 20 grammes lighter than the stock one, and
looks like a quality item, so I used it.
What is it, where is it from originally? Any ideas?
