I have found that people often just put an offset key in the motor to advance the timing. Often times they never actually what timing they end up with.
I had one person that kept melting down pistons. He swore he had 33* degrees of timing but he actually had 40*
The best way to actually check the timing is with a piston stop and a large degree wheel.
