Depending on what fuel your running, 98 octane will be best. have heard some people running 20 - 30 degrees. Ive ran mine pretty high but didnt increase power greatly
how far do people normally get with advancing the timing before motor pings? lol

i have 32/36 weber, redline filter and adaptor, elecronic dizzy, replaced cap and button. huge cam, removed/blocked off emmissons, ditched clutch fan for thermo, exhaust.. also replaced front main and cam seals but that doesnt effect performance.
still have to fit the adjustable cam gear, weber needs a rebuild, needs a new front pipe. oh and a good tune and it should be making another 10hp.
stock valve springs are fine, mine goes upto 7.5k not a problem with the springs.
motor is suffering a bit of blow by i think, may have to look for another fresh one or perhaps even a quick reco (rings, bearings, shave). would also be a good opportunity to fit the oil cooler.
I ran straight LPG on my engine and I found I could advance the timing as much as I wanted it wouldnt ping only lose power.

I think mine has some sort of toyota diesel valve springs in it (just an old box of valve springs we had out the back) and i'm not exactly sure how hard it revs because the stock tacho just stops once you hit 8 grand. im thinkin maybe 8500rpm and then it starts to get valve float. but seriously anything over 7500 and you dont make anymore power, just sounds crazy lol.
The cam thats in there now makes max power at around 6.5 but i'd love to get something stupid made up just for the fun of it! I'm thinking along the lines of 292/292 duration, 9mm lift
actually... has anyone here got an old 4ac cam lying around?
oh and i'll chuck up a pic of my cold air intake tomorrow if I remember... much better than that $40 speco one and cost me like $15 from the wreckers
also detail how you made it fit, materials, etc.
thanks!
here they are.
pretty self explanitory, and i think they came off of hilux's or something. you could make up a plate so that the carby sealed on the adaptor bit but i wasn't running a filter anyway so yeah....
chuck a pod filter on if your picky
btw this isn't streeted hence the no filter bit
whats that little air filter looking thing on top of the engine stickout sidw walds ? whats it do
waterhouse
The airfilter assembly has been removed and replaced with that.Thats the factory air intake on some older cars. Looks to be off a old Hilux, Express van or similar
