Spill timing a 12HT powered HJ47

Thought I'd make a video while spill timing the old girl after I rebuilt the motor. I don't have a spill tube so had to go without.

Many thanks for the nice video! Very impressive how shiny a 12ht can look like! Kind regards Marc

Beautiful cars👌

"I'm not sure"..famous last words

Good vid, thanks!

[@felixcanizalez3988]

for the 12HT engine the manual says that it is 11 BTDC degrees, for the injectors the pressure must be with nozzle used 180-210 kg / cm2, and with new nozzle 200-210 kg / cm2 I hope it helps you.

2H 18degBTDC, 12HT 11degBTDC. Toyota manual shows a pulley with both marked.

Gday mate I’ve just had my 12HT rebuilt putting it in a HJ75 haven’t seen rated it yet ae. Did u need to do any wiring changes or anything else

[@hayden6930]

Some very minor wiring, just gotta wire up your vacuum shutoff valve. It just needs power when the key is in the run position.

Hi would that be the same for the H engine

[@hayden6930]

Much the same process, different timing mark. I think the H is set at 18 degrees BTDC due to the inefficient precombustion system they use as an indirect injection engine.

Hi, can you tell me how accurate you found this method? I'm assuming you didn't take out the delivery valve? I've heard that this method isn't very accurate compared to removing the DV and using a spill tube. I have yet to get my injectors back so won't know my results with it for a little while.

[@hayden6930]

I've got no way of measuring the accuracy of this method really, I'm relying on the accuracy of the markings on the front pulley for the angle reading and waiting for a visual on the fuel flow. It's a bit hard to put an actual number on the accuracy when you're relying entirely on the factory markings for accuracy, but I'd guess you can get it within a degree or so.
