2.1 Timing issues
Hey everyone I have a 2.1L I'm trying to time. It's from Jeff Reinland and is a 2.4 LEA block with a LNF head on ZZP stage 2 turbo (yes I have the taller lashers) cams and 82# springs. I tried to time the engine to LNF specs seeing that the crank and head are from the LNF. I need some help I know I'm not the only that's done this build. What did you guys time your engine to?
Thanks in advance!

You arent very clear anout what you have tried nor about all your parts.
First things first........ do you have an lea long block using the 2.4 crank or lea block with a 2.0 crank. Are you using the lnf cps?
Have you ever timed ecotec motors before? Not trying to be insulting. But this isnt something you a person with little experience shouldnt be doing without professional help.

If your using a 2.0 crank, cams and everything else use the 2.0 lnf timing guide.the only thing you technically changed in the rotating assembly is the bore size. Use lnf guides, actuators, timing chain, crank sprocket etc etc. Time the balance shaft chain first and follow with the timing chain
Are you having firing issues where the engine wont fire or are you just trying to get the timing right. I guess thats what i was saying to explain better.
Did you build the motor from the ground up with parts from jeff or did jeff build it all.

Ok, That's what I figured and the same thing I thought. The only thing that's changing is the bore size of the block. It's not not in the car yet, it's still not fully assembled just hanging out in my room. Ummmm a long story short, I built it ground up with parts from Jeff. Thank you for the help though, I'll go at it again when I'm home from work!
Follow the lnf timiing guide in the service manual.
After you time the motor rotate it around by hand until the colored links all line up again. This takes awhile and also at one point it looks like its 1 tooth out but keep going and if you did it right they will line up.
