340 Static Compression Numbers and Test Procedure
Can I really degree the engine without a cam card?
You can see where it's at now and make a descison on what to do next.
I need to make a video on how to degree a cam. There are hundreds of them out there, but I don't do it that way. Once you know what max lift is, you can put the degree wheel on there and determine where you are. And go from there.
My best guess is if the cam isn't some small thing that's wrong for your combo, it is advanced too far.
When I can, I run cams straight up, regardless of the cam card suggestion, especially if I'm using a gear drive. With a chain I go in 2 ahead because the chain stretches.
I'm not a fan of the 4 degrees ahead thinking. Ultradyne used to use 6 ahead for many of his lobes. I wasn't a fan of that either.
