Re: Valve timing
Man , I have just spent the whole afternoon looking at this.
I tried a really nice 8ba cam that by the ford books has the same timing , ( I would use this ,but it would need the longer chev type valves and I already have my new valves,plus I,m using the original lifters.)
Books says inlet 0--44 ,I get 0-43 .close enough.at TDc both valves have .022-.023 lift,
Exhaust book says 6-48,I get 6-48.
,So I refitted the cam I want to use and left out the two bolts that locate the gear and just put in the ones with the larger holes,set it up and shifted the gear around ,and ended up with at TDC both valves open by .017,(exh closing and Inlet opening) close to what the 8ba cam was at .022-.023.
I think I forgot to then check the actual opening and closing figures,
so will do that in the morning when I,m fresh,
