Re: cam timing on stroker!

[Chris Simpson]

Does any one have experience with the cams being a tooth out?   I think that the L16 cam that i have put in is retarded by a tooth.  The 30/70 cam was fine and had no problems but the std one wont let it rev at all, i think that i'd be lucky to get over about 3000rpm tops.  THE advance is not the thing stopping it coz a low advance will allow the motor to rev, but at a reduced rate, and any way the advance is now nicely on 15 degrees, and no pinging audible.   Thanks all,   I'll get this one out eventually!   Chris S ----- Original Message ----- From: E Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 7:22 AM Subject: RE: cam timing on stroker!

Ok now, ive trued andrew's suggestion and the ign definately cuts as soon as you turn the keys off, so the heat has to be coming from inside the combustion chamber.  THat means that the plugs are getting real hot, the compression is that high that it desiels (but its only 10.05:1),or some other reason that i havent thought of?   Ive now fitted the std L16 cam in there and yes its a smoother idle and quieter than the lumpy cam, but the problem is still there.   If no one else can offer any suggestions then im going to try colder again plugs, this time BP8ES which is getting pretty cold, but on the 7's the cruise at say 80kmh, constant throttle wasnt affected, and the starting was simple so maybe the 8's might do it.   Temperature of the water is all good, nicely warm and far from hot!   Thanks all, sorry for the essay's lately   Chris S ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Simpson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 7:28 PM Subject: Re: cam timing on stroker!

Try using a timing light and then turn it off and see if its still sparking during run on. Chris Simpson wrote: Sorry to bombard you with stroker motors but.............. Im still having timing problems with it.  THe timing is now on 10 degrees BTDC and the car runs fine, the cam works well as a 30/70 cam should, but when i come to turn it of, she refuses to die quietly.  If i dont stall it then it will virtually run for ever. Now ive swapped the plugs from BP6ES's to BP7ES and that has made it a little smooter through out the rev range but it hasnt altered the running on problem.  Now im tempted to use BP8ES's to see what that will do coz the 7's didnt affet the driveablilty of it, so the 8's may be the way to go. Im after any one with a warm/stroker L20 that has run into this sort of problem, any idea's??  Every thing else on the motor is either new (pistons rings etc etc) or recon'ed (head etc etc) Something has got to be keeping the spark going but im just unsure as to what!  any one please help me! Chris S (Yes these are the cries of a desperate man!!!!) --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
