Hey all just a question, can a D be overheating because of timing being wrong?
if your timing was off you may have a spark knock or detonation/ pre igniton... this is caused by the mixture igniting before the piston reaches TDC... but compression, grade of fuel used, ignition timing, heat range on your plugs... all play into this
if your engine is severly lean that could cause it to over heat... but this subject can get into a whole other mess of issues with tuning, grade of fuel and everything else...
but i would feel safe in saying that your igniton or cam timing would not directly affect your engine over heating....
