Hello,
I am building my first engine - a 0.030 over 5.2L Magnum and have a question.
When installing the timing set (Mopar Performance double-roller), are there any additional considerations other than insuring that the dots line up on the crank and cam sprockets? They appear to go on only one way but the #1 piston does not appear to be at TDC when the timing marks are aligned.
Additionally, how critical is degreeing the cam? Should it be done with cylinder heads on or off?
Any help for this life-long Mopar fan but novice builder would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
