Should have shown or explained what to do if the numbers are off.
a bit off subject, I am tearing down an old 66' 283 it doesn't appear I have a cam sprocket button or a threaded crank end. Will my replacement timing set come with bolts and button? also would it be wise to thread my crankshaft?
Thanks for making it easy
Basically checking to see if your cam card is correct.I've never had an issue.correct timing per setup is what's important. I don't think that tiny cam with have any clearance issues
After top dead center when piston starts its down stroke, allow for a thousandths or 4 thousandths drop, then you can adjust the rest at distributor. Do they make a gauge that threads in the spark plug hole?
Great information, but I am still not convinced that this is worth the time unless the cam manufacturer is inconsistent in manufacturing, You can give, and great detail and explain how to back-check the manufacturer's stated grinds, but if it's off, you have offered no corrective action that can be done other than the assumption of returning the cam for replacement or refund.
If you build two or three motors a day, Ok, check it out but if you do one once, waste of time…..
I know this may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyway. You said that when you install a camshaft, you only lube the bearing journals and leave the cam lobes dry because the lifter rollers have a tendance to skate running over lobes. Is this a procedure you do to ensure accuracy when your degreeing the cam and will lube cam lobes later. Just wondering.
Preciate it brother ! I got a 350 I’m installing a cam in and this helped a lot and as is the difference in cam size the settings will be different,correct?
What all do you need to have off to do this? If you just want to replace the stock cam do you need new bearings or is it just as simple as Removing the old one and sliding in the old one?
1 thing I've noticed no one says how do you know which cylinder is #1 as every manufacturer is different. The answer is very easy it's the cylinder/piston that is closest to the front of the block
Were do you get torque specs
I hate to sound stupid, but what does this accomplish other than checking the camshaft?
It's important to note that the further from the top you use the piston stop points when locating TDC, the more accurate you will be. Ideally, the most accurate point would be when the piston is exactly half way up the bore, since this is where the vertical movement (speed, if you like) of the piston is maximum per degree of crankshaft rotation. That of course, is a little impractical so we use a point reasonably close to the deck, but still, the lower the better for accuracy.
As Pete mentioned, trying to find TDC directly with the dial indicator is extremely inaccurate since when the piston is at the top of its travel there's almost no vertical movement over several degrees of crankshaft rotation, so it's almost impossible to pick exactly the correct point. Hence the "double stop" method used in this video. Have a look at a sine curve and you'll get a feel for how the piston moves in the bore.
Am I able to come to you for training on these engines,Pete?
Do you absolutely have to have the cam thrust plate on. The engine I'm using does not have it. So do I absolutely have to have it or can I put it together without it
Good morning do you only need to degree aftermarket performance cams or it applies to OEM cams as well, thanks ?
I put the cam in 1st before the crank with engine upside down so I can reach down inside and guide cam into each bearing.
What would need to be done if you needed to change the degree of the cam?
maybe this is a dumb question but you never really said how to use the information,will you time the engine with the info or retard the timing chain on the cam? i'm about to install a cam in a 327.thanks just install the pistons tonight with help from your other video, just read your response to someone got it thanks
Sure it will….you're moving the rocker pivot closer to the crankshaft……pushrod length hasn't changed…..DUH!!….I had a head milled on an old trick Datsun A-12 and it totally ruined the performance…..I know now that I should have shimmed the rocker pedestals the exact amount that was removed from the head surface……trashed the rocker geometry!!
