Retarding Timing

[Harrytech]

I Have a 4G93T 1.8 GDI in Lancer and the engine is pinking some times, I can only get 96 octane fuel, can I retard the timing by moving the crank angle sensor on the exhaust cam, or is there some other way.

better don't move that thing,if that thing fail you need spend rm350 for a new one,will be make your engine wont start...

Drexchan has modified the crank sensor angle bracket without issues. Mine is a modified crank pulley which allows me to adjust a couple of degrees.

Dude i realized that you are in trouble simply you just change the oil some times oil is not fit into the engine requirement that's why engine is pinking..Whats update engine pinking is stop or not?

Pinging/knocking is a sign of pre-detonation, an does not have any thing to do with changing your engine oil

Retard the timing at the distributor. Very very slight. Do it in small increments and test and retest it. Do not go a lot at once. When i say little, probably 0.5-1 mm per move.
