Re: normal timing for a 16v

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <scirocco@insanetechnology.com>]

If it's like the 8v, you can just pull the distributor out and turn the
rotor a notch (so that it will fit into the next tooth on the actuating
worm gear), put it back in and you'll be in the middle of the adjustment
range again. I did this recently on my bunny because I had the same
problem.
