If an engine starts right away, with just a few rotations, is that a sign of decent timing? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 | Normally yes. Starting easily and accelerating without hesitation or pinging is a fair indicator that things are set right.

For example, an engine with worn rings can be harder to start.
