I have a 2004 Glastron with a Volvo Penta I/O 3.0L. Does anyone know why the 3.0L has a timing spec of 2 degrees after TDC when most of the other engines in the Volvo penta stable have a timing base of 8 to 12 BTDC? Having the timing after TDC gives me the impression there may be more power in the engine. The engine is also rated as having ultra low emissions and I do know that if you shorting combustion time you can greatly reduce emissions. Does anyone know of a reason or is it just to reduce emissions like I am assuming.
