Yeah, there was someone saying that, but all I did was an extrmely minor 2 degree advance. Ran it for a year without trouble. But I had to go back to stock to pass Cali smog tests. Have kept it stock ever since (almost 2 years). The one thing you need to do is make sure you knlw the stock setting from a reliable source, like a service manual. I say that because I have seen guys with different Civics (ex, vx, dx) citing different numbers for the stock timing advance. The job is simple enough, but you have to be patient with reading the marks off the rotating pulley. The angles in the engine bay are awkward.
