Trying to degree my camshaft
I then got my timing marks kinda close on the chain, installed my degree wheel and fashioned a pointer and set that for TDC on the wheel.
I installed my piston stop, rotated my engine until it came up to the stop, recorded my readings and then rotated the engine opposite way until stop, recorded my readings, added the numbers together and divided by 2.
Moved my wheel to that number and checked everything one more time to make sure I was getting the same number both directions at both stops.
Removed lifter out of the first lifter bore ( is that exhaust or intake ) inserted my home made tool and mounted my dial indicator.
Made sure the cam was on its heel and zerod my dial indicator.
Spun crank (always in same direction now ) and watched lifter eventually start to rise, stopped at .050 and this is the reading I got.
