Did I say you should run 21º? No, just giving an example.

you said "You can run more then that and the gasket will hold just fine " then said your truck holds fine at 21* of timing, implying that it is ok to run 21* on every truck with stock bolts and no o or fire rings. |
More then 16º also includes 17º and 18º and 19º. As I said, 21º was just an example, not that every truck should run it. To say that you CANT run more then 16º on stock gasket and bolts without the gasket going is not true.

Running more than 16* is asking for trouble.
|
and you say that out of opinion and not out of experience?
|
I state that opinion based upon facts I have collected on others whom have had bad luck running high levels of timing w/out supporting mods.
|
maybe MAX was the wrong term for stock head bolts. the term SAFEST would be more fitting!
|
Well I believe max-safest would be even better :P
|
Well if you want safest, don't mess with it. Stock is safest. (but who wants stock?)
I personally would crank it up to 17 or so and call it good. 18 if you retorque |
wat would i need with 5x12 injectors
