Ugga Duggas is a recognized torque spec by many.
I'm gonna squint my eyes and see if the intake valve on no1 is opening about the time piston 1 is @tdc!
Then you may as well have used a stock cam. I've seen that stock type chain set be 13 degrees retarded before. Good luck with it.I'm gonna squint my eyes and see if the intake valve on no1 is opening about the time piston 1 is @tdc!
That there, my friend, is a high quality, brand spanking new, high performance timing chain, sure to deliver me miles and miles of good smiles and entertainment!
hmmm. Ok maybe I'll give it a check with the degree wheel.
Here's your situation. The camshaft is one make. The timing set is another. If you use the same make chain set as the camshaft, you're lessening your chances of being off by a large amount........USUALY. This is also why I always recommend a high end timing set. Camshaft timing is THAT important to how an engine performs. Imagine if you check it you find it's 6 degrees retarded, for instance......from zero. That's probably TEN degrees retarded from where it should be, because it's "probably" supposed to be at 4* advanced. It's worth spending 100 bucks on a GOOD billet timing set and if it's not to you, then just throw the motor in the ditch. Cutting corners on camshaft timing is just not acceptable for the performance of a supposedly "performance" build, whether it's budget or not. You know me.......I hardly have money fallin outta my asshole, to quote Darnell, but I'll find a way to use good parts where they should be.
All generally fair points. I'll check it out and report back. Maybe it'll be a shade advanced fingers crossed
Anything's possible. My point is even though this isn't a high dollar build, you still want the cam and ignition timing correct for the build.......right? RIGHT? LOLAll generally fair points. I'll check it out and report back. Maybe it'll be a shade advanced fingers crossed
I do have high quality billet bling. Just not for this build.
108 is retarded 2 degrees, but it won't hurt anything. That's close enough for throwin it in.Dangit @RustyRatRod you were right. Cam card calls out a 106 deg ICL and crap I'm at 108. **** I think I'm just gonna throw this cam in the garbage now!
Just kidding with you. I feel better now that I did this at least. If anything maybe it'll have a little extra pep down low. Now, when I go for help on the site about something at least I'll be able to tell the guys the cam was degreed.

I kinda thought that as soon as I pressed send. It's not something I do often enough. Ok so maybe it'll have a bump extra at the top?
Well......honestly, if it was me, I'd fix it. Because that cam......while mild, is going in a stock low compression engine. In fact, if I was do in it, I'd install it probably down around 102 just to make sure it had some decent bottom end torque. Probably splittin hairs, but that's how "I" would do it. Still though, that's pretty close for a POS timing set. lol
It's retarded. Should be 106. It's 108.
The few pounds of torque he losses on the bottom end may equate to a couple more horsepower on the upper. lol
I don't think it'll be enough to notice.
Yeah? What should I put on it? This 3310 is made for mild to lightly modified engines, shouldn't be too far off from being pretty good.
