Default General info: What is timing? info enclosed

I was having a conversation about "what is 'timing'? " the other day and i did a miserable job articulating it. discouraged that i knew it but didn't explain it well, i went searching on the internet and found this link with a picture.

For those that have always wondered, check this out:

Take care!

Good post. But that engine needs a windage tray.

In a similar vein, I recently came across this site which I thought had an excellent technical description of detonation and pre-ignition.
