Tdc -2.2?

[Govt issue]

I have just installed a new timing chain. I relearned my Tdc offset to -2.2 What is the pros and cons to leaving it here? 245995 miles. You could take the cam gear and wiggle it within the chain. A noticible Tq increase.

That's a bit far for most people's taste, but unless it sounds particularly nasty or eats glow plugs, I don't see a problem.

It sounds good. The only thing that gets me is, that when I restarted the engine I alligned the timing mark to the factory lines. I havent touched it since. Just relearned the tdc.
