Ok guys, flame flame flame, but I need to know the answer. I know HOW to install the pulley, but the timing issue
Basically if I remove everything to where the head is revealed. Then I turn the crank to where my pistons are at the top most part of the head. Then I mark the stock pulley along with the cover. Then I put on the new pulley and make sure that the pistons are still at the top, mark it, put everything back and then everything will be strait? GImme some info. LOL.

The ONLY reason for the timing is so you or a tuner knows in what position the piston is at the top. This is so you don't have to open everything back up to check later (if you didn't make the mark).
Setting the timing is not necessary for the pulley to function, only so you know where the piston faces up for future reference. I don't know why, but something to do with tuning it later.

Rep Power: 0 Setting your timing is vital to ensure optimal power. Ok it's simple when you know your #1 piston is at top dead center, you put the pulley on and where the mark is on the timing cover make it on the pulley. Simple as that. If you do the piston that is the hardest part you just match the marks from pulley to timing cover not hard at all. Thanks

Rep Power: 0 so basically u put the mark and take off the other stuff just to ensure that the crank didn't turn once you install the pulley?

Rep Power: 0 Once the pulley is on you make a mark it should be the last thing you do. Trim the cover, ect... then put the pulley on turn it till it's at top dead center and make the mark.

Rep Power: 0 it does sounds easy, but I guess, we ourselves can't actually figure out if the timing is right?

Rep Power: 0 I dunno, I guess what i'm trying to say is. When I install this, and line it up to the stop before I take off the first pulley. I should try to keep it at the exact point once I install the new one, or else how am I going to throw off the timing?

Rep Power: 504 Ok, does faster revs automatically mean more power? Cuz I assume if you get into your power band faster, you'd have more power sooner = faster times. Right?

I think that is what happens but not sure, ask Josh. I would think that is true. The faster the rpm's reach the faster the car goes.

Rep Power: 0 You will get better acceleration and better times yes, and the pulley frees up HP, but faster revving doesn't necessarily mean more power, just getting through the power faster. Faster Revving combined with additions to the motor equals very good time decrease

Sorry the spacer is taking so long, but I should have them by today, so I should have them all out tomorrow. Hopefully. Ugh.
