Hello
I have a '37 Ruby engine M244... with a 2 bearing crank and h.c head.
Could someone please tell me if a starting point for setting the timing is TDC or
11/2" BTDC at the flywheel?
I usually have it at TDC but to make it run at it's smoothest I need to slightly retard it which can't be good
so I end up putting it back to TDC.
However, I do wonder whether I should be starting at the 1 1/2" BTDC point which I thought was for the earlier engines.
Or have I got that all wrong? which isn't unknown for me.
Many thanks for your time
Graham.
