on cams: Chrysler, Mitsu "low compression engines" and Hyundai Sonata on AllDataPro and Chiltons Bibles:
valve opens BTDC 19o
valve closes ATDC 59o
overlap 39o
duration 258o


According to what Dave said earlier (above), the cam grinds are the same. So, tomorrow evening I will try the timing specified on the underside of the hood (assuming it's still there) for the Mitsu.

I will do a write-up of the project soon, but actually it was fairly straightforward. Basically, I stripped everything off both engines and swapped to the Hyundai. The Hyundai essentially ended up being a "long block" - as in the only things that weren't disassembled and swapped were the block and the heads and internals. Everything else was swapped. I'll elaborate in more detail later...

Incidentally, since I'm being lazy, can someone tell me the ideal timing settings for the Mitsu? That's just in case the decal isn't under the hood or is unreadable...

Thanks in advance, and thanks guys for the advice that was prompt and professional. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
