New camshaft install questions

You need to degree the cam and make sure that it's at 106 like they want it.

What that really means is Comp wants the intake lobe to be at full lift when the piston is 106 degrees past TDC.

You can line up the dots and hope it's right. Better to degree it. All you need is a degree wheel, dial indicator with magnetic base, a pointer and a pushrod cut off about 1 inch longer than deck height.

Then you did absolute TDC and go from there.

It's also a good time to check that the damper is marked correctly for TDC.

Thanks for that good info, looks like I will have to buy a degree wheel, just to know in my own mind that it is ok. Good idea about checking the balancer also, hadn't thought about that. BTW, you have a spelling mistake in your 'permanent sentence of wisdom'. Should be "..TOO much is evident". not "to". Wrong word.
