All the timing on an 18RG should be done with a degree wheel and a dial indicator. If you sift through a book store that carries a decent selection of auto books, You should find a book which outlines this procedure to set the cam overlap. As for ignition timing marks, work out TDC(also outlined in the cam overlap setting section) and re-mark your crank pulley. Then using a degree wheel, re-mark the pulley again with your desired timing setting. Optimal timing is actually 33 degrees BTDC at maximum advance(NOT IDLE). SO, given this info, the 18RG manual does not outline this procedure at all, and therefore is basically good for torque settings, pull apart diagrams, and the stuff most engine manuals are good for. Go and find a book with the cam timing section in it (21st century performance is a good book, but comes with a wallet draining $70ish price tag)
Cheers, Owen
