Cam adjustment

[Clutchmaster]

for a b7/z6 mini-me set-up with I/H/E what setting do you guys have your cam advance or retard looking for good midrange and high end

[NEP-tuningalltheway]

play with the timing till your satisfied retard for highend andvance for low

[Clutchmaster]

yeah I'm at 4 degreess advance I'm just trying to get a concensus of what everyone else is doing maybe there setting will work for me too

[transzex]

1/2 tooth cam error to start with.........

so did you go 1/2 tooth advanced or retarded when installed?

[Clutchmaster]

I didn't install it it was set to 0 when I got it

[transzex]

so your .75 retarded then, correct?

[RandysSOHC]

while were on the b7/z6 timing issue....
I plan on doing about the same thing....z6 block & b7 head,,,,lil;..different

it will be a half tooth off.

so you can go any way?
retard or advance....as long as its a half-tooth?

not to steal the thread but its about the same information,
& the .75 threw me off.

[Clutchmaster]

so your .75 retarded then, correct?

i guess should retard a half a tooth more ?

[civic97]

he is saying that your off .75 retarted of what your reading.

[Clutchmaster]

so if i go -2 degrees retard i'm really 2.75

[civic97]

so if i go -2 degrees retard i'm really 2.75

yes. if you look in the engine building stickys its in there. for a better example look at the cam gears in that thread.

[Clutchmaster]

I'm running 4 degress advanced no pinging good power all the way to redline I'm guessing ignition timing is okay so that means I'm really 3.25 advanced right?

[civic97]

right. but you should really check the ignition timing with a light to make sure your dead on.

[Clutchmaster]

cool well everything is good now so I'll just leave it alone until I get a tune
