Nope. There's no reason why it shouldn't run fine installed dot-dot with two different timing gear sets.



So you'll have no idea where the cam timing and evidently you don't care.

Try and not be offended when I say that you shouldn't assemble engines. For you, or anyone else. Until you learn how to degree a cam, and WHY you do it, every single time.


I can give you reasons why dot to dot is a bad way to do it, but you wouldn't care.


There is no reason EVER to skip the simple process of degreeing a cam. EVER.


There actually are good reasons to not degree a cam every single time, but you wouldn't care so why bother.

Let us know when the coil or distributor fix your problem.



Yeah, don't degree the cam if it's the same cam and the same timing set. That's about it. Other than that, degree the cam. Takes less than 20 minutes.


I've seen name brand [censored] that when used together were 8 degrees off. And that was good, quality parts. They just had tolerance stack up.


Again, you degree the cam every time. Unless it's the same parts. It's not that hard.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
