Engine building, timing, upgrades etc

Makes sense then if you were using the 8° tool

View attachment 1494753This is the timing tool I don’t use the standard horse shoe as it’s for 197 cams and as @Touring_Rob said it was getting dark in a shed in my garden with a dead line so was rushing like anything Easy mistake When rushing you saying “I wouldnt time up” well it did but obviously didn’t run. But it’s all sorted now so no harm done

Good man - good luck with new engine!

And now we’re into engine number 3 Whilst mapping again at Ktec had bottom end failure and now it sounds like a bag of spanner’s under the bonnet. 2020 was a year of broken engines for me, so this time I have managed to get a low mileage ph1 172 engine and have fitted all new gaskets and seals, new head gasket and head bolts, arp rod bolts and some 197 cams along with rs2 inlet again and sent the box off to northloop for a rebuild but will not be going back to Ktec and I just don’t have any faith unfortunately so will be going to engine dynamics or efi this time round and hoping for a better outcome

Good luck with the new engine, and good shout to go to EFI or ED, fingers crossed for good numbers and reliability

Can I ask, is the Group N timing tool still readily available at all? Not after one just yet but I will be in the future.

did you ever find a group n tool?
