Dialled in my Kent 266 in my Innocenti 1275 and it is coming in at 103 Degrees ATDC.   I have bought new sprockets and simplex IWIS chain from Claver ST.

 

I used a DTI to dial the cam in. Checking several times.

 

Question:

 

1.  Do i adjust by 3 degrees with a offset woodruff key

 

2.  Leave it as is to allow for chain stretch although the chain looks good quality and stretch should be a minimum.

 

3.  Will it make a real difference? 

 

Thx

 

Nick

The standard timing is 106 degrees for kent normally?
I always give them 2 degrees to stretch, I Honestly don't think that this 1 degree extra would make any difference in any but an out and out racer engine
