Re: Can you adjust the timing on a 95 2.5l 4-banger?
 

Get the Mopar Jeep performance book and find out what is required to convert
the 2.5 liter Jeep into a race car. Sure it can be done, but is it worth
it? A stock 4.0 will still blow your doors off. Now if you really want to
advance the spark, get a Bosch 090 distributor, which is good for 8,000 rpm,
and talk to your machine shop about adapting it to the 2.5 liter Jeep
engine.

I have been hanging out in newsgroups since 1989. You don't always get the
answer you are fishing for...

Re: Can you adjust the timing on a 95 2.5l 4-banger?
 

Folks, with little dinky engines sure are touchy. Maybe, that's why
I run over four hundred inches, I was tired of having sand kicked in my
face, too: http://www.----------.com/pismo.htm

Now Bill, nonsense like this is completely uncalled for. I could call you
an ass. Just because you think you walk on water...lol!

This is a kind of human contact, but not the only one I have. Good to see
you have given up defending the 2.5 liter engine. I have one in my Jeep,
and it is what it is. I like to think that guys like Bill with their 400
inch engines compensate for some other lack...

This link is a trail I designed in Southern WV with the help of a couple of
friends. The unfortunate part of it, my name is mentions as the trail guide
but no pics of the black jeep in the woods on a overcast day. Such goes my
luck, but Wendy Frazier (photographer) with Peterson's did ride with me all
day. http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/eventcoverage/47658/

I think maybe you have seen them already. That Jeep is just too shiny for a
'95.

Re: Can you adjust the timing on a 95 2.5l 4-banger?
 

Hmm, too fuzzy and too much windshield glare to positively identify it as
you. Got anything else?

Hey, you have had this machine for some time then. When are you going to
give up on that four banger and install at least a V6?
