So like the title says I need some input on setting my timing...

I just finished my rebuild and the engine (B18C1) will be going in the car on wednesday... The head and block were milled .005 and I want to know how this will affect my timing?

here she is...

 

Set it to 16. The amount you milled is negligible.

 

good to hear

so on the first start I should let it idle untill the radiator fan kicks on then check the timing and adjust?

 

Yup, then change your oil.

 

Well I've noticed in most engine break in procedures they say to idle the car around 2.5-3k rpms for 20 min or so...

So should I let the engine break in first then set the timing or..

Let the car idle itself after I first start it up until its up to op temp, set the timing, then break in the engine...

Thanks for any input I wanna make sure I do it right
