There is two ways to hurt a Engine
Number one detention will melt ring lands or knock out rod bearings
Number two
Late timing will kill performance and overheat the Engine and exhaust
Both can take out head gaskets
The last flathead I did when I degreed the cam in using Cloyes timing gears and Schneider cam there were one tooth off from being 0
If the cam is advanced it will have great bottom end but will require the timing to be retarded.
If the Engine runs good ,doesn’t ping and the plugs don’t show signs of speckles run it.
