Afternoon all, looking for some advise with regard Vernier Pulleys. I have just re-built my 205 1.9 XU9JA engine following a session round Rockingham earlier in the year. Any way, I changed the rings and bearings etc... and decided that whilst it was in bits i'd buy myself a new cam so I brought myself a CatCam with a 282 duration. Once installed and the engine running it was a dog to drive at low RPM so a mate suggested a vernier to try and nail the timing to make it as good as it could be. So, spent £100 on a vernier, whipped it on (looks lovely) but i'm stuffed if I can get my head around the setting up of the damn thing, i've left it a 0 degrees for the time being with the ignition advanced by 30 degree as per the Peugeot book, what the bloody hell should I be looking for/trying to achieve with this thing, next to looking nice it's poxy useless to me at the moment. I understand the principle behind the manufacture of these, adjustable timing at both ends of the cam but I can't find anything to suggest that I should have it 3 degrees advanced for better mid range power for instance...

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance to anyone with more useful brain cells than me!!! smile

Nothing from CatCams, nothing from Piper in the box (Brand New BTW).

Thanks
