[Vwdiesel] Hillbilly TUNING ? ---( is it valid ? ---bet your butts. )

[James Hansen]

Svend.
James understands, but chooses to disagree.
To take a big step backwards and time an engine by ear, feel and sight is
quite frankly ridiculous. That works okay on my model T, but a timing light
is still better on that too, and it tells me things my ears won't.
The proper tools to time a diesel engine exist, are plentiful and
comparatively cheap.
I happen to have such tools, and have been setting Bosch injection pumps on
a volks to 1.00 mm for years and years.
You can cut down a tree with a pocketknife, but WHY when an axe or a
powersaw are available.
I know you have a passion for the unconventional, but for heaven's sake, I
time the pump once in two years, it takes fifteen minutes. My stuff gets
high mileage and does well on power. The A2 td Jetta I sold now has
580000kms on it, and going strong.  This would be original engine, rings
bearings, nothing other than proper maintenance and timing with a <gasp>
dial indicator to 1.00 mm.
So put your socks back on, and realize that the Hillbilly way is just the
hard way, and quite frankly, for a beginner, a good way to potentially screw
stuff up.
