Did you put the jumper in the diag block to adjust the timing?

I adjusted the timing on my 97 NA to 14 degrees. We set it using a timing light and while keeping an eye on a scangauge in side the car to see what the ecu was saying it is. timing light says we are at ~14 but the ecu is still reporting 10 at idle. does it always report it as 10 or is there some other issue that I should be worried about. I will say this though, since I bumped the timing it runs much smoother and feels much quicker while accelerating. no more hesitation from 1k-4k rpm. I am going to drop it back off to 12 degrees on thursday. My rings seems to be letting more oil past now... just can't keep up with the extra pressure I guess. Hoping to have money for rebuild over the winter/spring. on that note, any tips on where I should look for parts and pricing on all that? head was recently replaced with a rebuilt unit. so I think just a head gasket and a lower end rebuild should be enough.
