Camshaft timing
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello, I'm french and I'm going to change the camshaft of my metro turbo engine.
I'm waiting for a new camshaft but I need to know the standard timing so I could buy the off set key I need.
If some one could help me
Bye

You will only need an offset key if the standard timing with the normal key is incorrect.

You will have to install the new cam, then check the timing. If it is incorrect, you fit an offset key to correct it.

Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Yes but my goal is to have the right off set key in the same time of the camshaft.
I know the timing of the new camshaft so if I could know the timing of the standard one, I can calculate the off set key I need

Avonbar Racing do a pack for around £17 plus postage ????

there are 4 diffrent offset keys in there
this will sort all timing figures you need

As I build several engines a year I always keep lots of these. From 1 to six degrees. I always feel if an engine is a one off, you'd be better of with an adjustable setup. Easier, and not that much more expensive to be honest.
