How do you tighten a Drz chain?
Tightening the chain is very simple. You basically remove the cotter pin from the axle, loosen the axle nut and slide the axle back using the snail like adjusters on both sides. Make sure both left and right adjusters are on the same number. This will help ensure that the wheel is aligned.
How tight should Drz chain be?
Remember, a little loose is better than a little tight. So, sitting on it, there was enough play that I was able to get my fingers under it and move it.
What’s the best way to adjust cylinder timing?
Community Answer. Set the first cylinder to top dead center on the compression stroke. Set the distributor to fire at the top (this is considered 0 degrees advance/retarded). If you want to advance/retard timing, turn the crank an angle amount equal to what you want, or place a timing tape and use a timing light.
When do you change ignition base idle timing?
Typically, when your car comes from the manufacturer, ignition base idle timing is set to a manufacture specification before top dead center. The timing advances as the engine’s speed accelerates, however, resulting in a variable that will need to be periodically adjusted using a timing light.
What should the timing be on a small block Chevy?
When in doubt, total timing should be somewhere between 34 and 36 degrees. A typical small-block Chevy’s timing curve needs to be set somewhere in this range for maximum performance, when the engine is being revved at 3500 RPM. At this point, the timing should stop advancing and should remain steady.
What’s the best way to adjust the timing of a rotor?
To adjust your timing, all you need to do is turn the distributor housing one direction or the other, depending on whether or not you want to advance or move back the timing. If the rotor turns clockwise, you’ll advance the timing by rotating the distributor counterclockwise, and vice versa.
