Need cam guru thoughts/advice

If the cam was cut on a 106 LSA and installed at 102 centerline, that is 4 degrees advanced, not 4 degrees retarded. Just for clarification.
I don’t think anyone was saying the old cam was in at 102.
The cam was on a 106, and the card called for a 102 c/l, but it was supposedly installed “4* retarded”.
It’s a bit of a moot point now, since that cam is no longer in the engine, and it doesn’t seem like anyone checked the installed position before removing it.
