Hi folks, I can't get my head around this one so am hoping your collective wisdom will put me straight.
I need to do a key way fix on my crank, but whilst I get the parts and time together I'm trying to work out whether I have an immediate problem or not. 1. I recently fitted a new water pump and when I set the cam timing back up the crank pulley was approx 12 degrees off due to the key way failure (I didn't realise at the time). 2. If I put my Link into +10 deg set up mode and check the base time, I've got the +10 mark at about +22 degrees and the TDC mark at +12 degrees. The car very nearly stalls when put into this mode. 3. Do I now just need to add 12 degrees of advance to all the Link ignition zones to in effect be back at normal timing? I realise this is not a permanent fix, but I'm trying to make the car drivable for a few weeks until I've got the key way repaired and everything set back up as it's supposed to be. It makes my head hurt thinking about this, but this is what I think I've got: When I previously set up the timing, the crank wasn't at TDC, but rather 12 degrees AFTER TDC. So both the intake and exhaust cams are in effect retarded 12 degrees. Assuming the CAS on the exhaust CAM is the Link's view of the ignition timing, I can get the ignition timing back to normal by adding 12 degrees in to all the Link ignition zones... Thanks in advance, Glenn '97 FM Link
