Might look in to a removable block.

It should potter around nicely without either.

How do i check the timing?
The car pulls well when i give it beans and will also hold a nice steady speed. The response to throttle changes is quick - it really does seem to 'perform' well in everything i throw at it - except running above 60, which the car is noisy and slow at - but they must all be like that LOL.
