Ignition Timing 120-130

There are lots of ways to go when it comes to cams in the B18/20. Give a lot of thought to your intended use of the car and choose wisely. A ripping cam in a dailey driver might get tiresome while an economy cam in a weekend warrior may not satisfy. Metal timing gearsets are available but the original fibre gear last a long time--that's what I use in my sometime trackcar 144S. Whatever you do be sure to -- 1. replace the thrust plate under the timing gear -- 2. Move the spacer ring from the nose of the old cam to the nose of the new one (locked up cam is the result of not installing the spacer) --- 3. ABSOLUTELY replace the lifters. -- Dave
