How Do I Advance Timing?

Yea dude, Gear bangers advise is spot on, he's a wrench turner though and seems to enjoy the labor though. Unless you like screwing w/the timing cover and or any thing having to do with timing chain; tuners is advised, computers are the bomb. Save up for a tune.


You will hav'ta buy a new timing chain gasket , the timing chain adapter and maybe some oil. Plus risk injury to your crankshaft. Get a handheld. Less to worry about, other then the tuner.

Actually, I don't remember having to do any of that to install the Steeda Timing adjuster. If memory serves, you don't even need to remove the balancer? Pretty much unbolt the crank sensor from its existing location on the timing cover, pull it out and replace it with the supplied bracket, bolt the sensor to the new mounting location on the bracket then bolt the timing bracket and trigger wheel onto the balancer? It's been about 8 or so years since I did the deed, but I don't recall it being overly difficult? Gives you something like 10-degrees in either direction. Pretty neat little set up to be honest.
