Thanks Karl, just one more time to clarify where my confusion is.
I have been shown how to arrive at the standard of measurement for the stock cams in my slant engines.
I am able to confirm ( somewhat... I am still working on things ) that @.006 of intake cam lift my degree wheel reads 6 degrees BTDC just as my FSM says it should.
Since this is happening I am under the impression that the cam is in proper phase with the crankshaft.....in other words things ( or thing at this point ) is happening when it should.
I am lost without this standard of measurement. I do not get how I can say that the valve is opening at the correct time AKA when it should cause I do not have this standard of measurement for my newly re-built engines cam.
I know there is something ( at least one thing ) that you know that I dont know in all of this so I will just take my measurents as you have asked me to do and get this information to you.
You can then show me what I am missing.
Ill spend 12 hrs doing something that you might do in 30 minutes but Ill have it at some point over the weekend.
Thanks for your time.
