Timing
Among the many problems i got i noticed this the other day and didnt know what to make of it. while checking my timing as i rev the car the timing changes according to the timing light is this right?

Re: Timing
Yes, timing will change based on throttle position, load, rpm, etc.

Re: Timing
Well diagnose the conditions first. Is it doing it when hot or cold, full throttle or 1/2 throttle, etc etc etc

Re: Timing
Well that could cause more problems... bit of a gamble... if you dont already know then I suggest you take a listening rod and try see where it is coming from. If it is from inside the engine then I would rather then gut it anyway. Sorry hope its not what you think...

Re: Timing
if i drain the oil then surly there will be metal flakes in it if the bearings are shot
