i have a d16y8 and my cam gear is advanced 2 degrees. my freind said i do not need to set it back to 0 when i tune just adjust it from the distributor. is this right?if so wat is stock timing for a d16y8?

 

+1

 

cam timing effect ignition timing but they needs to be adjusted seperatly.

adjust cam timing by the cam gear, ig timing must be adjusted after u touch the cam gear
ignition timing can be adjusted at the dizzy.

oh tell ur friend to ---- a goat LOL

 

Adjusting cam timing on single cams is a bit pointless anyways unless you have some radical cam.

 

is it safe to Advance cam timing?

 

it is safe to certain point before the valve will hit, it boost up low end power by a pretty good margine but it will feel like ---- when u rev high

 

 

yeah, 8.4 hp difference with a stock cam, no difference at all.

Retard the Y8 cam three degrees for better top end.
