Question
How do i do the ignition timing on my 2.0ltr dohc engine
carburettor Ford sierra 1990

Answer
How do you mean "do"?The valve timing is set by crankshaft and camshaft marks which line up and are turned by the timing belt,as for the ignition timing,does your car have a distributor?If so,many fords have a spark advance and this timing is preset and no adjustments can be made.What is the exact problem with the engine?
