Right people big cuddle for who ever spots what's wrong in this picture

Once spotted please explain how the car ran like the please, for your information this is my old engine that I just removed and have ran for over 18 months

Cheers wayne

Your inlet cam looks to be on group N timing.

 

[w33 brl]

We have a winner

Had no idea it was like that engine was sold to stu robertson and he found it like that while redoing the belts and dephaser

 

[Dan@SJM]

That's not the worst I've seen

 

[Dan519]

timing looks like it's been done without a pulley locking tool al la pikey spec.


edit...too slow

 

[Dan519]

I see them like that all the time. Prob ran about 15-20bhp down

Or even without the horseshoe. No tippex marks?

Yep to slow dan, the other dan get the cuddle

, if it ran 15 20bhp down it would mean it was about 192bhp then as I had I rolling roaded 2 months after I bought the car and it ran 171 and 143 at the wheels?

Worst one I've seen, the cams locked up perfectly, but the crank was so far out, without removing the bottom pulley to see the slot, I didn't know which way to turn it to get the mark in view on the gearbox.

I know group N timing isn't far from what you've had, so it may have been a case that it was flat at the bottom(20 or so bhp down from OEM) but held its power further up the range.

I'm going to check all the paper work tomorrow to see where the belts were done

 

[w33 brl]

I'm going to find the print out and ill put a pic up and let you's see the graph

Remember mine ran 196 on extremes rollers. Yours ran 171

(No I don't trust my 196)

where?

 

[w33 brl]

Yeah I get that but on the same day other guys had same power outputs as other rolling roads so really don't know

Extreme Motorsport in Whitburn

Going by that, take 20 off each

Exactly what I do mate lol!

 

[w33 brl]

Here a picture of the print out the power looks smooth

My road cup came with settings very similar and went like a scalded cat, lumpy as hell on idle but I'm really tempted to redo it again tbh as I preferred the way it drove.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

It looks like Dr.Zoidberg....

what is 'group n' timing and what is it used for?

Does what it says on the tin mate. Timing setting for group n cars.

And the settings shown is what has been called semi group n settings, full group n retards the exhaust cam too.
