    Timing help

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am noob. I'm sorry.
    Sitting here staring at my chains and have all guides, all tools, and punching bag set up.
    Looking for guidance. I've dug through quite a few forums and it all turns to "buy the Bentley manual"

    I'm stubborn and cheap so I've scoured for other answers.
    Mainly looking as to how to set the time with the tools, how I know my timings on, or off. And basically any very crucial procedure so I don't fxck this up 😂

    All jokes aside, I greatly appreciate any immediate feedback.

    if you're cheap there is a website that has the elsa manual online, the way it's laid out makes it really difficult to use it, though. You can also torrent a pirated elsa for free which is much better if you can get it working, obviously your best bet is to buy the bentley or elsa manual. if you really want to be cheap and try to find the info online, here's a good starting point: http://workshop-manuals.com/audi/s4/...nent_overview/

    I've dug there and gave up. Maybe I'll buy, is the Bentley a direct download or a disc?

    If only I could dig it up^

    Resetting the timing can't be as easy as putting the tools where need be and bolting it back up is it?
