4AGZE/GTE Timing setting

[AE71 Rolla]

Just wanting to know what the standard timing setting is on AFM GZE as i have it set at 0deg for the moment.(advanced or retarded?)

[Moebius]

Same as 4age, 10 degrees BTDC. (With the pins shorted)

Cheers dude

Newb question but when i set it to 10 BTDC, does that mean the mark on the crank pulley has to line up with the 10deg mark on the cam gear cover?

[Benno]

Bingo! line it up with the 10 BTDC mark and the cover.
set at base idle with t(e) and e1 shorted

I tried to do the timing today but when i put the crank pulley on 10BTDC, the belt is loose as fuck on the right hand side. When it's on 0deg it's all tight. there is absolutely no way i can get the belt completely tight unless it's on 0deg as i have tried eveything. any suggestions

???? Your tlaking about the timing belt? set it all up a top dead centre and to get the 10degrees out of it you adjust the dizzy... thats how I'm reading it
