Setting base timing offset

Postby Mickwitchy on Mon Jun 30, 2025 8:22 pm

Hi there,

Has anyone here had any experience with putting a timing light on the r35? I can see a couple of notches on the crank pulley, but I don't see a corresponding mark on the engine to assess timing offset accuracy. What do people normally do with the R35 to set this up?

Cheers,
Mickwitchy

The factory workshop manual normally has that information. Of course there are many modern engine with no timing marks -- I usually end up dead-stopping the engine and making my own marks to set the correct offset.

Here is a webinar from HP Academy that shows how to find the TDC of the engine.
