Dont even try to do the dot to dot... you will never know what you have... degree it in... and if this is a street car advance it more than the 108... 104 would be better for the low end torque... even 102 EDIT To the manu... 108 is straight up... all they do is move the key way 4* from the 112
Never, EVER take anything thing on motors for granted, NEVER I've seen cams that where ground 8 degrees retarded I've seen timing sets marked no where near accurate Take your time and slide that rascal in on the two O marks, line the dots up and check the lifter timing at .050 lifter rise first, that will tell you if your close If not adjust(move the crank gear to another location, advanced or retarded, and recheck it Always verify everything with after market parts, if you don't Mr Murphy will take a big old bite out of your Butt, you know he will At least he does that to me regularily
I agree, the last cam I checked was the one in my napa rebuild 318. The guy had installed it dot to dot. The cam had a centerline of 110, dot to dot it was in at 113. The motor had zip for compression to begin with, retarding the cam surely didn't help matters.Dave
