Re: Cam Degreeing/Checking Important
For the actual valve timing, you do it the same way. Put the indicator on the valve, as in GosFast picture.
Rotate until you get .100 (or what ever you want it to be), mark the degree wheel, rotate until your on the down side, at the same indicator number. 1/2 that is your center line, for that lobe, same on the other one. Then you count the number of degrees, between those CL's and you have the lobe center.
You count the degrees between piston TDC and valve TDC and that gives you the installed lobe center.
You can then, get your valve timing. Reset you indicator at 0 on the valve, rotate to .006 lift and then to .050, mark those and do the same on valve closing and you have your cam timing.
A lot of time and effort but, you will KNOW what you have and if the cam is what it is suppose to be and set as it should be.
You don't put the degree wheel on the cam, because the timing is all in crank degrees.
