Advance the distributor until the engine pings then back off to the point the engine stops pinging, tighten the distributor. This will require driving a few test runs.
how do i find the timing on my 383 400 hp stroker motor
It depends on which heads whomever built the stroker motor decided to use.
375 hp
Neither. The timing should be set to factory specifications.
That would be a destroked motor, and would result in a 285.
the crank shaft has been changed to alter the travel of the piston in the cylinder
If you wanted to put a 3.75" stroker crankshaft with a with a 0.05" offset grind into a Ford engine with a 4" bore (such as a Windsor 351) you could make a 383ci Ford stroker. But as for making the traditional Chevy stroker engine, you can't turn a Ford engine into a Chevy engine.
The very basic answer is the crank shaft. There is a greater distance from the main journal and the rod journal on a stroker. This causes the stroke of the piston to be greater from top to bottom in the cylinder. Thus the term stroker motor.
The 2UZ-FE motor does not have a timing chain but a timing belt and it should be changed between 90k and 100k miles along with the water pump.
6, to 8 degrees, advanced. Advance it as far as you can, until the motor pings on acceleration, or, under load.
There is no timing ajustment, Its controled by ECM- Computer.
AnswerMost of the time, the steps to take to set the timing are on the catalyst sticker under the hood. But first, you must get the vehicle into base timing (usually disconnect a wire from distributor). Remove distributor hold down bolt, hook up timing light to #1 spark plug wire, start engine, and align timing mark (0°) Once this is set, reconnect the wire you had to disconnect for base timing. Timing advance will automatically set itself. if it doesn't, you have a faulty timing advance mechanism on the distributor. You can check timing advance by pointing the timing light at scale (while hooked up to #1 spark plug wire) and rev the motor. Timing marks should move up the scale.On many GM cars and trucks the wire that you disconnect is solid gray in color, it is in the wiring harness on the firewall, the wire has a black plug for separating when doing the timing.
