So I'm practicing with my new cam degree kit today on the 427 for my pickup.  I stabbed the cam at what I though was TDC... but the degree wheel tells all.  It seems I was past TDC when I put the cam in, I kept coming up with 112* inake centerline... hmmm.  :banghead

Out comes the piston stop and spin away... get the motor up on TDC exactly and the timing marks are off about a tooth on sprockets.  Off comes the cam sprocket, move the cam a little, move a tooth on the chain... and bolt everything back up.

Find TDC again, check the marks, and on goes the dial indicator... VIOLA... 108* centerline, just like th cam card says.   :good

Maybe there is something to this measuring shit... :D  :stupid

I did a poor man's way of counting sprocket teeth on my boat engine rebuild around 12 years ago.  My machine shop guy said "You can't do that." :rotflmao

For my truck engine rebuilt 8 years ago, I got a degree wheel.  At least I knew I did it the right way that time. :D
