Would it be better in the long run if you spent the money on the tools to do the job and learned how to do it right yourself? Or am I misunderstanding the situation?

I need someone to educate me, but do it for me...buying tools just to buy tools if I don’t know what I am doing is not on my list.
I will pay for someone’s help to dial it in
Mark Mark I did my first one 40 years ago following a Direct Connection book. Now there are DVD’s showing you how and better pictures in books to help you. If you watch someone do it you will not learn a damn thing. Trust me you can do it and by doing it yourself next time will be a cake walk. PS I’ve had lots of luck advancing them 4 degrees

You would need a piston stop ($10) & a degree wheel (fairly cheap) & a large one is better to work with but are $$$. there might be some utube vids on the procedure. #1 with the piston stop confirm the dampener slit is on TDC on the timing tab (or within 1 degree). EDIT you might search for someone local to come show you, it's a slighly twisted procedure (I had to read the procedure several times) but when you grasp it you'll have it & it is simple: How many degrees after TDC does the cam cyl #1 intake valve lobe reach max lift & I forgot you also need a dial indicator (clamp on or magnetic). MORE EDIT I just checked utube & there are some very good procedures on there

What I need is an EXPERT that will help me do it correctly, and I expect to pay that person Mark

If any of you guys are interested in learning how to degree cams in or already do so I highly recommend this tool. It slides into the lifter bore and with a dial indicator installed on it makes this job so more easier, more consistent, and quicker. Christmas is coming, put it on your wish list. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-4926/overview/

Mark Came over tonight to help me degree my New Dwayne Porter Camshaft, and the Jesel was 5 degrees (retarded) off from where the dot to dot is...The intake centerline was 115*. and that was 5 degrees off, then to add 2* advance, to bring it to 113* at Dwaynes spec. Not quite one tooth retarded, but almost. Boy, did I learn a lot from Mark. He was a real life saver on this! Thank you Mark! Mark
