It depends if it is an OHV(pushrod motor) or a s.o.h.c./d.o.h.c. motor. Ohv engines can have a timing chain set that allow for adjustment, to be installed. You can also install crank keyways that adjust the timing by moving the crank cam gear the required degree/s. Overhead cam engines can have cam gears installed that allow for cam adjustments.

What causes the valve to contact the top of the pistons?
Timing belt breaks or chain jumped. one thing that will cause this problem is over reving the engine. To the poster who said over revving the engine; please explain. I wonder how race cars can turn 12,000 - 16,000 RPM's and not sink a valve if revving has anything to do with it. May be the timing belt breaks? ANOTHER ANSWEREither the timing chain or timing belt has "slipped" (most common) or the valve has been sticking or the engine has been operated at an excessive RPM resulting in valve "float". Valve float depends on the mass of the valve assembly and the strength of the return spring. Elaborate valve assemblies have been established for the purpose of preventing valve float.

How do you set the timing on a 1993 Ford Mustang XL?
Most newer cars 1990 up the timing is controlled by the computer. Read the tag under the hood that tells what motor is the the car it will probably say do not attempt to adjust timing.That is partially correct. The computer controls timing once the initial timing has been set. You can set the initial timing. You need a timing light. Basically you set up the timing light per its instructions and loosen the distributor hold down bolt/nut. Remove spout, start car and check timing with your light. You can move the distributor slightly to adjust the timing and tighten down when you are where you want to be. I would not go above 14 degrees and if you go there use premium fuel. HTH

How do you stop fire coming out of carburetor?
the most common cause is incorrect ignition timing. your spark plug wires are in the wrong order or your distributor is misadjusted, whoever did your tune up last time is responsible for the problem. Otherwise it would be caused by a misaligned valve timing chain or belt. If it ran before or while it shot fire out the intake, its probly not the timing chain/belt. if you recently removed or replaced that, you should be smart enough to correctly adjust ignition timing. Only other cause is a bent intake valve (least likely).
