it’s great that you’re willing to learn and have a good attitude about it. The phrase, i don’t know what I don’t know applies to all of us at one point. Degreeing a camshaft is just parking the centerline of the intake lobe in the right spot relative to where the piston is. The cam manufacturer will tell you where they want it. I think only a handful of cams I’ve put in (I’ve done lots) have been spot on when installed dot to dot. It’s ALWAYS good to check em.
