I recently got my Trickflow H/C/I all together, and am very happy with it. I have a problem with the timing backing down. I set it at 20* spout out initially, and after a day of driving the car, I checked the timing because it seemed a little sluggish. Sure enough, the timing had dropped to 8*. I put it back to 20* and today it was running crappy again so I checked the timing and this time it was at 4* so I bumped it back up to 20* again.
When I put it back to 20* the last time, the distributor hit the water neck by 15*, so I advanced the rotor a tooth to achieve 20* again.
The timing chain is new, and I am suspecting its going bad. Any ideas? Should I tear the timing cover off and inspect the chain? Could the computer be pulling timing?
Thanks for any advice!
