The pic of the step 3 looks WAY off to me. If the cam is 270 @ .050 the intake open event at .050 should be about 27* before TDC, that pic looks like 104* BTDC If you put the timing chain on, line up the dots and have an accurate TDC indicated on the degree wheel, turn the crankshaft counter clockwise about 180-230* to get the lifter on the base circle and start from there zeroing out the dial indicator on the lifter. cam duration is 268 / 272 at .050 , 108 cl Im going to try this again monday with the Comp instructions and i will take notes after each step and post what i get .

SO , I left it "straight up" too late now, its buttoned up , im getting the heads on it tonight and maybe back in the car. Going to see how she runs. If i need to try advancing it 4 degrees this summer- no big deal .
