I'm using a thicker 1.5mm headgasket due to high compression pistons in my B20 and ITR head and Skunk stg 2 setup. Will my cam timing need to tuned because of this?
I just want to set the Cam gears at zero until i get the valve to piston clearances done and until i can tune it properly on dyno but due to the thick gasket if i leave them on zero, then they won't really be on zero?? They will be slightly advanced but i'm not too sure how much so i need to know how much to retard them by in order to acheive zero.
Sorry for the long post and hope it all makes sense.

 

 

The generally-accepted approximate formula is that, for every 0.3 mm you add to the deck height, you will want to retard cam timing by 1° to arrive at at "0,0" setting.

 

Thanks dude.
