[urq] RE : She runs! No more cut out!

Louis,

 

You may not feel the difference if it is off by a tooth in either direction,
since the ignition timing is not effected as long as hall is "in window".
The engine whould still run fine.

 

General rule is:

 

Advancing the cam timing - tooth off counterclockwise  - gives better low
end power - moves torque curve down the RPM spectrum.

 

Retarding the cam  - more power/toque at high RPM.

Good ! I'll try this.

 

But you didn't answer my "philosophical" question : what is the effect of a
t-belt that is 1 teeth off ?

 

In fact, we should experiment this ourselves... on a disposable engine of
course ! 

So, the next urq owner that goes the engine swap route has a task:

install the t-belt 1 teeth off in both directions and test drive the car.
Then, we'll have a wiki tidbit to add to the knowledge base and answer this
question for good...
