Hey guys, I need to time the motor I just installed, and I don’t know how to use a timing light, even if I had one.

If anyone is willing to take an afternoon and come help me time my motor here in Barrie, I’m offering gas money and a free all you can eat sushi lunch!

Thanks

It’s for a KA but the process is similar for any other Nissan motor :dunno:

Except I know SR it should be 15-17 deg. and not 20

You can get a light for like $20. Any Princess Auto near you? Try Napa or  
even Canadian TIre.
