RX timing is screwed most of the time. My RX100 is bone stock no modifications were done anywhere it rolled off in 1992 so it's not one of the 6v to 12v cases. The motor was rebuilt this February ran the damn thing in just fine, been using excellent quality 2t oil. I did a WOT run recently the damn thing did not want to cross 80kmph came back home only to be greeted my old friend piston slap lol I am dead sure the clearances were set right because I read the numbers from the workshop manual and made the machine shop guy run those numbers down for me. With this grime in the back of my head I posted my query on what I like to call one of the best automotive forums on the internets, yes the RDD. Anyways for the doubters and haters ima post a bunch of clips I just got down from my phone let the marks speak for themselves but guys put your RXs under a timing light and if there are any problems dial your timing in because screwed up timing WILL trash your motor in no time.
Props fly out to Ron, Prd, satish and rohitsuparu at RDD.
