In fact I'm about to assemble a hybrid 4 cylinder Atkinson cycle engine. Am I going to degree the cams? Nope. Not all of us are stuck in the stone age as you seem to assume. So continue to assert your superiority if it makes you feel better about yourself.



So....You build some NON Mopar oddball stuff, yet are somehow totally qualified to comment on the accuracy of timing sets and camshaft timing events and how degreeing a Mopar camshaft is a waste of time? Really ??????


I was a Chrysler tech from 1975 to 2008 when the dealership lost its Dodge franchise. So yeah, I'm qualified, and infinitely more qualified than you Mr. Construction worker. I also didn't see where there was any stipulation on what engine or engines need to have the cam degreed every time. I stated there are legitimate reasons to not degree a camshaft and then was called ignorant and accused of spewing crap. I think I made my point. Chrysler also sells engines with twin overhead cams and computer controlled cam timing so, I don't see where you are going with that.

BTW helpful post.
