I took some photo's :
-First one is the crank marker on top dead center (locks it in place)
-Cam gear adjusted to the crow specs sheet
-Showing how far the cam has been advanced (about 5 degrees out?????)to get the correct inlet lift at Crank TDC
-Dial guage showing 1.9mm (0.077 thou) lift on inlet valve at Crank TDC (ignore the reading as it was set at 5.0mm then the guage drops to 3.1mm)
-Fly cuts (3mm deep)
-Showing interferance with playdoh (leaving about 1 to 1.5mm gap)
So that's the process I went through to time the cam gear to the crank, as far as I can tell it's right. ---
If I had timed the cam with a standard gear and put it back in to factory specs I would presume that the car would NOT run as well as it should right? which would explain a few gems that make much less power than they should considering the carby and cam combinations that they run.?
Any more info would be appreciated, as this is still my first engine built that I have attempted to do everything with out guess work.
