It is not always necessary to degree a cam. I put engines together all day long and never degree a cam. Why you ask? Because it won't make a difference and there is no way for me to change it anyway so why bother?



For some unknown reason you THINK a cam can only be a degree or two off and that just isn't the real world. You'd know that if you ever degree enough cams. You'll quickly find they ain't as close as you'd like everyone to believe. I've seen plenty of name brand [censored] off 8 degrees and I've had reground and lesser brands be off more than that.

So again, keep posting crapola, it still makes you wrong.


Degree the cam, every single time.

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