Its pretty easy, exept the part where you burn your hand on your block :) good thing i wasnt the one who did it.. (Thank you terrin for taking one for the team :) its ALOT more responsive.. and @ 80 MPH, my RPM used to be at 4K, now after the timing, its a little over 3K.. there is a chance of it not passing smog, but its so easy, that you can do it right before you take your smog test.. and this is from Mike K: "he figured out on the Dyno that timing is worth about 9 hp at 4500 rpm and 5 more peak hp! On a GA." > I have a question about timing. For someone who knows absolutley NOTHING about > timing, is this something I could do with, say, a Haynes manual.
