    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    I just moved the camshaft sprocket over a tooth, still no change in the excessive advanced timing. I'm stumped!

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    In regards to my last post, number one had a bad gapped plug, the light is firing great now. Still have too much timing advance though.

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    Just started her back up after work here. The timing light was not flashing on the cylinder 1 wire, I tested the other wires and it was flashing on the other three. I seem to have a issue with maybe weak spark? Thoughts ?

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    I just had a thought, if I retard the cam by one tooth, that should allow me to set the timing correctly ?

    The number one cylinder is at TDC. I confirmed this by removing the plug and inserting a wooden dowel though the spark plug hole. The rotor is also pointed to where I have number one plug inserted.

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    I have attached where I have it timed. If you notice on the camshaft sprocket, I cannot get it right into the middle. If I move it a tooth over, it's more toward the right mark and not in the center. This is the same way the old belt looked, which is why I changed it.

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    I'll snap some pictures of my timing marks today. In all honestly I believe it is set correctly. I might put my old belt back on and see if it makes any difference. It takes 5 minutes to change the timing belt on these engines. I have not set my dwell yet as I do not have a dwell meter...

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    I did check the timing a couple times, the mark on the camshaft sprocket, I cant get it exactly in the middle. This was the reason I changed the belt - I thought it was stretched. There are three marks on the timing cover, if your looking at the engine from the front, It is currently more...

    OMC 2.3l Lima Engine Timing

    Hello all! New to the forums - I have a 1988 Canaventure with with a 2.3 Ford Lima engine in her. I recently changed the timing belt and am having some hard time figuring out timing. I can get the engine running pretty good without any detonation, however the timing is set at around 35 BTDC...

    I just went though this - I wired my own external resistor. Find the ignition wire coming from the back of the ignition switch, spice a wire into the ignition wire. Grab another length of wire and run it to the positive side of the coil - make sure that you remove the existing faulty resistor...
