Re: Valve timing
Lawrie since you have the time to do it why not determine the actual valve timing events then you would know exactly where the cam is located. You have already determined TDC and have the valve to lifter at zero clearance which is the correct way to do it figuring out the rest and determining the C/L will give you the correct information. Setting the cam at the overlap position is always a good starting point when checking for the unknown. What you come up with would be very interesting to see what the stock Ford cam and gear will actually give you especially for economy.
