a math problem

[aston]

If a flywheel is 13.5" in diameter, how far do I have to move the crankshaft position sensor to change the timing by one degree?

a) 0.236"
b) 0.118"
c) 0.059"
d) 0.039"
e) none of the above

... 6 cyl with lockers at both ends.

0.118"

:dunno: slot the cps bracket and have someone check the timing while you move the cps around.

I hate math. Is the problem 13.5*pi (mmm, pie) / 360 = .11775? Or is it more complicated?

i think so...multiplying the diameter of the circle by pi will give you the total # of inches for the circumference. you then divide by 360 to get the # of inches in one degree of rotation.

?? does this sound correct?

yeah...but it's a 4 stroke motor which means the engine turns twice for each power stroke. Plus it's a 6 cyl, each cylinder can only occupy 1/6 of the available crankshaft rotation.

too much thinking, you're on your own.
