RIV timing method
I am using M.B. DOC RIV tool to check and adjust if needed IP timing on 84 300 turbo diesel. I have 335,000 miles with 2.5 degrees of chain stretch. I cant believe what I am seeing if I am reading the balancer right, but does this picture indicate the timing is right on 15 degrees it has never been adjusted since purchased with 52,000 miles on it. M.B DOC says its best to set to 14 - 14.5 degrees is it worth the effort to change this. Thanks for any input.
