So, it`s not a point of being full of yourself, it`s the difference between a shade tree mechanic and a professional mechanic and for the 15 minutes it takes to degree a camshaft you`d be crazy not to do it.



Funny thing is, I consider myself a shade tree mechanic but I'd NEVER put together even a stock motor without degreeing it in anymore.

It has nothing to do with having high end parts! It's widely known that there was a run of Cloyes roller timing chains out there that were mis-stamped.

How many guys have cars running poorly out there because of this?

..and yes, it could be the difference between 16.50's and 12's.

We put together street engines all the time without degreeing in the camshaft.



Wow, hope that luck holds out for you....
