Timing Marks? 2 Attachment(s)
Hello folks. Let me start by adding this is my first adventure in A land.
I am getting started on my miller ohv conversion and I have a 350 cam from Stipe I will be installing. My question is, is the timing pin just used for finding TDC. If I want to pull the cam, should I line up the pin mark in the cam gear with the mark on the crank then pull cam? Also recommendations on a good engine overhaul manual would be appreciated. |
Re: Timing Marks? Just pull the cam, and yes the dimple is for TDC.

Re: Timing Marks? More than TDC on the crank. Many times ignition issues are caused by being 180 deg. out. The dimple on the cam gear guarantees that the cam lobes are positioned for end of compression stroke where the rotor & cam can be set to open the points.

Re: Timing Marks? Roger that. I was under the impression for some reason the marks would be in alignment at TDC.
Thanks. |
Re: Timing Marks? You might want to run a metal timing gear if you are running a over head.

Re: Timing Marks? If you are using a Steve Serr aluminum head with his rocker arms, you might end up with more than desired valve lift because the Stipe cam, I believe, is for a flathead (no rocker arm advantage) Check with Steve and/or Bill before proceeding.

Re: Timing Marks? I did when I purchased the cam. It's a ohv cam that he recommended with the 1.5 to 1 ratio Miller set up.
