My first car was a 1933 Chevrolet bought for $25.00. So I have been around for a while. On several forums, one sees sometimes posts that suggest that an engine has "jumped time". I do agree that such could happen due to wear of gears, timing chains and sprockets, etc. But such posts always suggest retiming the engine and continue running it. Has anyone actually seen some condition, other than loose distributor or magneto clamp, that causes an engine to change timing while exhibiting no other problem before or after the timing change? Single cylinder engines are not what I am describing here. It seems to me that "Jumping timing", if it happened, would be expected to happen again almost immediately. And the camshaft probably would be involved so that ignition retiming would not help much if at all. So are these other people just wrong or do I need a better understanding? Are these other folks just offering baloney?
