    carby 355 timing settings .

    As some of read i have turned my black 308 into a 355 . I have the timing set at +8 and seems to be running fine as i run it in . What i want to know is . Do i leave the timing as is or do i need to change it to suit the stroker ? Not on gas and running it on 98 octane fuel . Cheers.

    knocking sound from under car when taking off any ideas what it is?

    I would still check the centre bearing out . The rubber gets all soft and crappy and will knock on take off . Mine makes a little knock on take off so i'll replace it later on sometime .

    I got my bracket from the wreckers . From what i can gather it's off something like a HQ or something around that time . Only reason i got that bracket was I put the battery in the boot . I think the alternator would hit the battery tray in the VH .

    [308] 308 to 355 timing chain . Help please .

    Sure have good buddy . Priming worked a treat ! Use grease . Don't even think it was more than 2 seconds and the oil pressure was up and engine runnin smooth and quiet . I can believe the difference between the 308 note and the 355 note . Sounds very deep on idle . Thanks for everything . Yet...

    I'll probably just get a set of 17's or 18's . The roads around here are crap so i'll need some wall on the tyre to stop pole holes wrecking the rims .

    Well This is the first time but i can't get oil pressure . as said never had to do it before ....... little annoyed by it really . How do you prime the pump . Fill the pump and filter with oil and bolt it on and start straight away ?

    No problems with the timing at all . Everything is where it's meant to be . Just a matter of fitting up the engine to the car and fingers crossed it goes first time :)

    [308] 308 to 355 timing chain . Help please .

    Inlet moves first . If we spun the crank 180 the whole thing would be normal . Both valves would be closed and have no.1 piston at TDC .
  32. Fusion

    [308] 308 to 355 timing chain . Help please .

    Thats what i was thinking . All i can think of now is if i spin the crank 180 to get top TDC again and all will be fine . It must be the way is gets set up . So thinking 180 turn and get it back to TDC and install the dizzy to that .
