Degreeing Cam by Measuring Overlap @ Lifters

He is completely incorrect on this point, because lots of modern cams when degreed 'where you want them' are not at "split overlap." (This is the design of the cam) It IS a quick and dirty way on old school cams but that does not mean that cam is optimum for performance for that particular cam and your particular engine/ and driving purpose
This system works for me. This particular video was done on a "modern split cam" from Oregon Cam Ginders. Some don't like it, that's all cool. I won't debate or dispute it. Those that like it can use it, those that don't won't. I couldn't be happier with the way the engine performs. Actually, I couldn't be happier with the way ALL my engines perform :)
