Seeing that I've never done this before, I'm no sure what to make of this, whereas it seems to read that if I try to do this blindly, I may do some kind damage to my engine somehow. Is it just as simple as lining up the marks with the timing light, or is there something more involved?
It is very simple. Just line up the timing marks properly. I believe the thread you mentioned discusses advancing or retarding your timing past the factory recommended specs to achieve higher performance of MPGs. I dont do this and set it to factory specs.
