timing on 1855

[MikeO-WI]

Looking for my options. Based on the IT book, a 1755 engine should be 2 degrees before top center BTC. 1855 and 1955 should be 4 degrees BTC. Are there any other options? I know J Scheibert stated there was a change in the timing at one point, but I have not seen any other timing settings. We have tried both of the IT book settings, but it just doesn't seem to have the power or sound right. I don't have a dyno and I am not sure what the injector pump is set at? Would incorrectly popping injectors be part of the problem?

On the 1755 diesel the timing is 4 degrees BTDC.

Where do you have the RPM set? Have you checked the advance on the pump, transfer pump pressure. How much boost do you have. You need to set the later engine timing to TDC.
