Advanced Timing (Timing in general) 700 1987

Hi All

I have been fiddling with my timing over the past week in my 1987 740 turbo (LH 2.2), and i have discovered a problem with my timing, at normal settings that is 12 degrees BTDC, the car seem to lack power but as i advance the timing to 17 Degrees the car runs great, it seems to be the sweet spot, is this the wrong timing or is the harmonic balancer out, and will it damage my motor, if i keep it at this setting. In the past month i have replaced the headgasket and all other acosiated seals and gasket, and clean everything TB and intake, All wiring was redone. So is it a timing problem or is it just covering up another.

Thanks
