Misc 2L questions

[scourge at cogeco.ca (Scourge)]

Hey Phil,

I've got the ABA/JH combo going in mine. I don't run a knock sensor either. 
I only use 94 octane fuel, and keep the timing between 6 and 8 degrees at 
idle and I've never had a problem with ping. 28mpg with the cam and whatnot 
is pretty impressive! I've only got a G-grind in mine, I've managed 43mpg, 
but that was driving home from Cincinnati last October(I live in southern 
Ontario). Oddly enough I only got about 36mpg on the way there, lol.

GL with the motor, hope you enjoy it!! Oh, and I think it's the 36mm oil 
pump I'm running. Smaller then the stock ABA, but bigger then the stock JH 
solid lifter one. IIRC it's from a plain 1.8 Hydro motor. No idea what the 
oil pressure is, but I'm just over a year and almost 20000kms in and I've 
had no problems with it yet.

-George
