Timing Gear

[Arc Angel 18]

I know the rules say not to mess with the timing gear, but whats the best way to pull off the timing gear if possile?

Don't pull the gear it can be turned.

A real simple setup bore an aluminum block then split it, it does not take as much effort as you may think.

Kart; How are you; Did I borrow that 1/2 head from you or did you borrow it from me??????

The torque plate you see has been used on Honda engines coming off that bench 15 years agoI don't think there were any Honda postings on Bob's then and there certainly were not any clones mentioned. I did post pictures of it many years ago.

The answer is the same answer I always say regarding ignition timing, it depends upon the starting point. Gx 160's usually moved about 4* the 200's of later years 1.5-2* some never got moved. I did an early clone and I did move it a lot, that was so long ago I don't remeber numbers or brand of engine. Doing so many Hondas I was not impressed with the early clones, so much improvement has been made.

And I thought I was the only one changing timing.I guess I had a secret LOL

I wasn't the first, far from it. Subbe this has been posted before I have posted the pictures but they of course went down with the ship. I sold a set up I built for moving the gear without pulling the crank, pop the side cover, pull the cam I had a partial plate that bolted to side cover bolt holes, a plate made from an old cam gear.

hmmm cool fixture... ive heard of people popping the cam gear off... and of people bending the cam... but not like what your doing... your way would be a lot easier!!! basic stuff and a degree wheel... I like it!!!
