Re: whats up with my timing?? anybody got ideas?

Also... the rubber between the outer ring and hub on stock harmonic dampners can rot, and the outer ring will spin. Making the engine to appear to be out of time, when it's not. Then when you "adjust" it... your're making it worse.

Bring the engine up to TDC, and if the timing mark is nowhere near the timing tab... your ring is prolly slipping on the hub.
