Need to replace front cover gasket; do timing and kdp at same time?
Well my front cover leaks, so I was wondering if I should do the timing and kdp at the same time?
What exactly is involved with advanced the timing? I figure about 15-15.5* should be good? Future plans are fuel plate, star wheel, intake, exhaust, and hopefully injectors and call it a day Also, where can I buy a kdp kit at? Matt |
IMO
make your own tab for the KDP.. then the money you save yourself from not buying the "kit"..and spend it on other mods. Timing is kinda a confusing thing to do. you will have to get a timimg kit or find a shop that does it.. best bet is to find a guy who does it alot and have him do it while you watch and take notes.. after that invest in a timing kit so when you advance your mods you can tweak your timing. Just be carefull with it. 16* should be pretty good with a stock HG and stock Head bolts. any more it might give you fits. |
Excellent, thanks brother.
Links to how to fix the kdp myself? How much would a shop charge to advance the timing? |
were are you located?

well i just dug in on mine.:w2:. its an easy job just time consuming. get a new gasket and make sure you replace your front seal. make sure you check the crank surface and see if you will need a speedy sleeve with the new seal. Where you located? Make a " Tear drop " shaped tap out of some thin metal. drill a hole in it and take the bolt out right beside it and put it on there. i used Blue Loctite on the bolt thread. depending on how thick your tab is you might have to get a longer bolt.
