Was checking the timing on my 3VZE earlier and I can't seem to read the timing marks/numbers too clearly.

It looks like to me like this, while looking down from the front of the truck, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing it right, the numbers are kind of beat up:

? 10 5 0 5

I assume from left to right that it's ?(can't see what this is), then 10* BTDC, then 5* BTDC, then TDC, then 5* ATDC.

Is this correct? Where would I be looking to put the mark if I wanted my timing at 12* BTDC, just to the left of the 10?



Thanks.

I believe its 15 10 5 0 5. I can verify tomorrow if no one else posts. So yes if you were looking for 12* it would be about the middle between the 15 and 10 but just a little closer to the 10.

Thanks drmix, it's actually reading just left of 10 right now, I guess maybe the PO had it set to around 12.

Thanks.

Yeah ive read that 12 has better performance over the factory spec 10. Didnt really feel any difference on mine
