Default Completing A Swap. Timing?
Finishing a GSR swap in EK chassis. I replaced the timing belt and made sure everything is TDC. Do I have to take it to a shop to adjust ignition timing now?

well I alligned everything tdc, then put the dizzy on with it alligned with it's own marks. so everything is alligned with all the marks they should line up with. Still no need to set timing?

Shouldnt as long as your set to TDC and the dizzy was reinstalled in the same position from which it was taken off.

well that's the thing, it never came with a dizzy. I just figured allign the motor tdc, then align the dizzy with it's own tdc marks.

you should have made a mark on the dizzyhousing and head before you removed the dizzy. just get a timing light or get someone to set it for you

You can ruff it in by ear but you really should just borrow or buy a timing light they are not real expensive

So it really doesn't matter if the motor and dizzy are set to TDC. Ignition timing has to be set still right?
