I have been thinking: How is the ignition timing determined?
This is my understanding.
The crank sensor determines timing BTDC and the cam sensor determines cylinder fired. Sure, 2 fire at the same time in a ate spark system.
The balancer has a interupter ring with 3 windows.
Which tab/trailing edge (?) determines timing and is it always the same edge/tab?
If not, does the tollerance/variation of the spacing between the edges have any impact?
