for those with 1.9-2.0 builds.. what do you have your cam timing set at?
also what is your ignition timing set at on pump gas.. thnx in advance fellas

 

I used to have my cam gear setting at 0ex +2in to compensate for my milled head.

right now my cam gear setting is 0-0

I believe my timing is stock right now as I just had to get it passed smog and I am not sure if my tuner put it back to where he set it earlier before getting the car smogged

 

What works well for X motor, will not necessarily work for Y motor, even if they are the same bore/stroke. This is especially true on cam and ignition timing.

If you install the cams correctly (degreed and on the manufacturer's recommended centerlines), this will compensate for any milling of the head or decking of the block. Any adjustments thereafter should be done on the dyno with an experienced tuner.

Ignitiong timing should be set at 15deg at the distributor and adjusted via software management ie: Crome, Hondata. How much timing you run is determined by type of fuel, compression (dymanic and static), camshaft lift, camshaft duration, and heat range of spark plugs.

Cliffnotes: Leave cam gears at 0,0 and ignitiong timing at 15deg distributor until you get tuned.
