Timing plate Mod

[AKheathen]

I guess you learn something new everyday, i never seen or heard anybody doing that to a stock plate. Guess alot of people don't do it and just buy one.

alot of people just do it to do it. the tools and time can cost way more than finding one used, but it's nice to have the experience instead

You can actually get 5 degrees without taking out too much material. i do mine on a mill with a rotary table and can crank 5 degrees on the table.

We have done several of them it works very well if 5 is the most you want to go. We just go 21 thousands per degree

Yep, doable. Most here must not remember this before the RS plate days. Billet plates were costly at over 100 bucks so the OEM plate could be modded for much less. We used to offer the service at +4 for around 35.00 but the RS plate put that mod on the bench even though the RS plate quality does not hold a candle to the OEM plate. All they have to do is hold the pulse generator steady. There are no problems or concerns in modding the OEM plate. Works fine. We used to mill grooves for timing verification but most just hog them and go.

I disagree with the ascertion 1 degree = 0.021" for that would imply 360 degrees would be a 7.56" circumference. Divide that by Pi to get the diameter of the hole pattern = 2.406" diameter. I haven't measured it but that seems a bit too small. Others say that 1 degree is close to 1mm (0.03937"). That would be .03937*360/Pi = diameter of hole pattern = 4.511". That seems a LOT closer.
