Sorry I forgot to ask the question. Where are other Healey 100-4 owners
setting their timing?
Hi everyone
          My friend Bob and I have his rebuilt engine back
in
and running after its crankshaft failure. It is currently 89MM bore with
a DWR1 camshaft similar to the 100M Cam specs. The head is a previously
installed Denis Welch aluminum head that we has to mill slightly because
the crank failure allowed the #4 piston to hit the head. The valves were
ok. During the break in period we have the timing set to 8 degrees
advance at idle. Bad me I don't know what the advance is at 3000 rpm
with the Mallory distributor. We plan to check it this week and keep the
advance to around 35 degrees total advance. The engine is running great
with 8 degrees advance at idle, backing it off to 6 degrees the engine
was not as happy. Using 93 octane gas with 10% alcohol. Ethanol free
gas is available near our house in Maryland but not here in CT.
