Re: [DMCForum] Re: Timing performance engine (Martin G)



A lot of the time, I have no idea what you're going on about - eg the 
first paragraph in your e-mail below. I take issue with sweeping 
statements that are often just plain wrong. I quote them in my replies. 
You then seem to attempt to blind me with science but contradict 
yourself at the same time. I'll sign off with simply repeating for the 
umpteenth time:

Over advancing will cause problems with pre-ignition
Retarding will correct but going too far will lose you power.

These are basic principles, not tied to any particular engine. For more 
info, read www.pumaracing.co.uk

PS You do realise that advancing means increasing the number of degrees 
before top dead centre? ie set the DeLorean timing to 13 degrees, rev it 
and the timing will jump off the scale as the spark is sent more and 
more in advance of TDC because the time taken for combustion to 
propagate in the cylinder by and large doesn't change, but with the 
speed of the engine increasing you need to light it up further and 
further away from TDC.....
