I changed the clutch the other day and while putting everything back together noticed a missalignment in the TDC mark on the engine plate and the corresponding mark on th bell housing. This meant that if I set the timing by the bell housing (as i always have done) it would be 1 deg more than the engine plate and vice versa. Thinking that the mark on the engine plate would be more accurate I used this - effectivley retarding the ignition from its previous setting. The result is noticably better performance. Anyone else come accross this?
