Re: engine timing dilema
I 100% agree with this statement and realize I shouldn't have gone and put ideas into someone's head that I don't know for sure they know how to degree a cam. I'm just used to having people around me that built engines back when, if you wanted a cam for your engine, you had one ground specifically for that engine, then degreed it in when you got it. Nowadays, there's such a wide variety of cams that's it's pretty much plug and play, that doesn't stop me from getting the dial indicators and degree wheel out to double check things though...I don't like doing things twice, especially when the second time the engine is already in the vehicle. I run all my small blocks at a 107-108 LCA unless it's a 400+cuin engine, then it goes to 105-106 LCA...depending on what kind of engine it is and the duration of the cam.
