I've been reading around on adjusting pump timing and saw somewhere that the mil-spec 6.2's supposedly run less static advance than the civvy 6.2's. Any truth to that, or just a rumor?
There's no witness line stamped across my pump/timing cover which I thought was really strange. Anybody else come across this? I know where to look, what it looks like, and where it *should* be, but I swear there's nothing there - no line. I know I can scribe my own, just thought it was really odd that there's not even faint evidence of a timing mark. On a junkyard 6.2 I was checking out for comparison the mark was clear as can be.
Anyone try bumping the advance a smidge? Supposedly it makes for easier starts and a little more bottom end pep. I don't have a diesel timing light, so I'm going to have to go by the "if it's knocking at idle, you went to far" guideline. I'm not talking a lot - just a couple degrees to see if it's any improvement.
