Do a compression test. If you have no or low compression the piston rings may have been damaged. If that is the case the engine will require rebuilding.
By removing a link in the chain itself.
Timing can not be adjusted, is done by the PCM.
Even so eclipse uses distributor based ignition system, I'm not sure that you can adjust timing. The timing you can adjust is idle timing. But it basically never needs to be adjusted.
yes. +++ In fact it's how the timing is adjusted.
1998 and newer have no timing marks. Timing cannot be adjusted.
The ignition timing can be adjusted. Attach the timing light to the battery and connect it to the cylinder. Loosen the distributor adjustment bolt and start the engine. Remove the vacuum hose from the carburetor. Read the timing and make the necessary adjustments.
I have a 1982 v45 magna and the timing chain is loose can it be adjusted thanks
Basically, the timing is set and adjusted by the engine computer.
Timing belts are replaced, not reset.
Timing chains are not a scheduled maintenance replacement unlike a timing belt. Timing chains usually don't need to be replaced unless there is a problem with the engine itself. Timing chains will last as long as the engine. This is from personal experience.
You don't. The timing is adjusted thru the ECM.
timing is adjusted by the ignition module and feed back from sensors
