It seems to me that the last time I did this I used the .050 before/after max lift also. This time the instructions I was using recommended .010. As far as my saying I installed the cam 'straight up' perhaps my terminology leaves a bit to be desired. What I should have said was something like zero to zero, in other words I just lined up the marks, checked the degree wheel and got a value of 106'.



Steve--it doesn't matter what value .010, .020, .050. 0r even .100 you use as long as its the same on each side of the lobe (small concession for asymetrical lobes of course). When you degree, you can pick several numbers, check them, and you will get the same results within the tolerance/resolution of your system (gauge/pointer/wheel/consistency etc). The last one I did I used three different values and came up with 106.75, 106.75, and 106.5. I figured that to be 106.75, with pretty good confidence. You needn't be concerned if you used .010 or .050
