318 budget build

That is ground on a 110 lobe separation angle. I doubt that there was enough lobe on the core to make it so "lining up the dots" would pit the intake centerline at 106 if that's where Kenny wants it installed. So...that means you need to use an offset key, or a crank gear with multiple keyways.

This is why you always Always ALWAYS degree the cam.

I guess you can time of off the at .050 lifter rise of you have to. But it still needs to be checked. I thought Kenny used to put an ICL on the card but I don't see that on yours.
Yellow rose should i be checking .50 lift with the dial indicator on the intake cam lobe off of the pushrod? or should i just pull the head and do it off the roller lifter? when degreeing the camshaft after TDC has been found
