crank pulley
remember when I posted up about using a chipped crank pulley? well since I did not use the chipped one, and the original ls pulley did not allow me to run PS, I decided to use a b16 pulley, in results I could not get my cam timing adjusted. I just could not get it there without turning the dizzy to max advance, so I just center it and leaving it like that.
I finally got the correct pulley but it aint installed yet. the ls pulley is a lot bigger than the b16. is it possible that the b16 pulley was what causing the timing reading to be off.

Re: crank pulley
Thirty thousandths will throw it off some. That's a lot to take off head or block.... why??
Center your distributor, and start turning cam gears until you can hit correct base ignition time. Remember cam timing X 2 = crank (ignition) timing.

Re: crank pulley
I bought the head used from a guy who built it for a NA car, it has .5mm ferrea valves and a full port and polish and 5 angle valve job with crower springs and retainers for $700 I could not turn it down. I am also using crower turbo cams with the intake advanced 3 degrees.

Re: crank pulley
3 degrees intake cam offset = 6 degrees crank timing offset you have to dial out @ distributor.
You running racegas everywhere you go to make over 500whp, or spinning 9500+? If not, turbo cams aren't worth fooling with IMO.

Re: crank pulley
I run race gas everytime I get the chance, I rev to 9100rpm, and I am pretty sure I am making over 450whp, and 500whp is my goal, the crower cams arent mine, but contrary to what everyone is saying about them, out of all the cams I used they are the best, I have a set of GSR which are my primary ones, they feel too soft, a set of b16 cams useless. a set of skunk 2 very nice top end and vtec engagement, but no mid range power. the crowers have power all through the rpms,
I love them and if someone will trade me set of crower for my GSR I would be happy, crowers are great.

Re: crank pulley
the car is in the shop getting a paint job, as soon as it comes out I will install it.
the reason why, is because my friend was saying it would cause it to be off because they are 2 different sizes. hopefully it will solve the problem when I install the new gasket, and by then I will reinstall the gsr cams, and see if I can do some cam gear adjustment to get something out of them, I just dont get why people think they are better than crower, they feel just like b16 cams.
