another n00b question to do with 4a cas

[method]

On a 4agze if you turn the cas clockwise does it advance or retard the timing?

[method]

Someone must know!?

[IH8TEC]

retard is clockwise

advance is anti clockwise

[RomanV]

Well yeah... Which way does the engine rotate? Turning the CAS the opposite way to this will 'advance' when it sees the signal for it.

[method]

Thanks

Yeah i should have thought a bout it, im sick of thinking haha!

Was gunna rangi bump back timing at the drags because i have a bad flatspot around 6k. Base timing is at 13* advance and im sure the knock sensor is picking up a little knock around there.

Also check your cam timing. I've just had the same sort of thing on a twincam Mazda and it turns out the cam timing was out by a tooth so then the ignition timing couldn't be adjusted correctly.
