Retarded timing can be a cause of overheating.


I was always under the impression that just the opposite is true. Timing that is to far advanced tends to cause the engine to run hotter. I seem to remember one car I had where the timing was advanced to the point it would ping on a hill. When the timing was brought back down to get rid of the pinging the car seemed to run cooler too.
