Degreeing Cam / Offset Keys available?

360duster said

Cam should be installed at 106 icl, with the 0-position of the crank sprocket i get 107 - 108°, with the 2° advanced Position of the crank sprocket i get around 104° icl…….would like to have it more precise, not knowing if it really matters this much.

A guy over here in Germany found a P4286500 kit in his stock, bought it.....i think with the 1° Offset key it will be ok.

Thanks guys!

It doesn't matter that much... Unless you used a super-high-quality timing chain and sprockets, your cam timing will retard 1-2 degrees regardless after a few hundred miles of running since the timing chain ALWAYS stretches. So put it in at 104 and over time it will gradually work itself up to 105, mayyybe 106, not that you'd ever notice a difference anyway in how it runs.

Also 1-2 degrees is so small you could be getting that much difference just from user error and small variations in the measuring tools (degree wheel, pointer, etc.). For me personally I repeat at least 2 full measurements with the degree wheel of the cam phasing and as long as it's not off by more than 2 degrees and I get the same results each time, I call it good.
