94 1.8 Flywheel marks - Javalin
Hello all,

A quick one I hope! Is there a definative source for flywheel marks for ignition timing information for these cars? (Picture's would be handy) The Bentley ones don't seem to match my car. I wonder if the US/UK ones where differently marked?

Otherwise is it valid to work it out by measuring the cam angle x2 to get the crank angle? (x2 because the cam rotates twice per crank rotation). I.e. measure 12 deg's for a 6 deg BTDC angle?

Cheers,

James

Er, no. It's the other way round.
