Patrol Timing
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:13 pm
Hey peoples.
Can anyone tell me where my timing mark should be??
I know I should have a book for it but It's not the original engine and therefore unsure what to get, plus don't want to get two as I a tight ass.
Should it line up with the centre of the gauge thing that I don't what it's called? At the moment it sits just above the centre.
Oh yeah, '81 Patrol; 2.8 straight six petrol, converted to fuel injected (not sure as yet whether original head or how much is original but they did have a similar engine at the time but carby'ed) These changes shouldn't change timing and it's seems to run beaut but I am having problems fouling up spark plug every few months and this is one of the things suggested to check. ie timing slightly advanced, may seem fine but makes it burn out the plug.
Plus this is probably the best place to ask stupid Q's, the worst I can get is a smiley laughing at me.
