RE: Timing

[Colin <cwass99@home.com>]

    I doubt you would have a lot of success adjusting the ignition timing to
make up for the fact that your valve timing is off a bit.  It's not always
easy, but if you're careful you can get the timing belt correct on the first
go.  You just need to be a little bit patient and take up most of the slack in
the belt by hand before you adjust the idler wheel to make sure everything
stays aligned.
     Good luck.

Cheers,
Colin
