cam degreeing needed?

Always degree to verify the cam is in where you want it.

If you are spending time and money to build or upgrade an engine, just one of the steps to insure things are at least where they are supposed to be. Mp says to install some cams at 106-108, I installed them at 98-102. Depends on what you want out of it.

Get a cam that's 6* retarded and a timing set that is another 8-10 retarded. Yep, that's a recipe for success!

The factories didn't give 2 craps about assembly and correctness. As long as it ran, they were good. 2 identical cars from the factory sometimes ran very different, wonder why? :)
