with all the changes I've made to my race motor (decked head, shaved block, re-grind cam), mix and matched parts, unknown pedigree on cam pulley.... etc .... I think I'm in need of re-orienting my valve timing.
we fooled with the cam timing last test day and advancing it made an improvement, but we chickened out after one adjustment because we didn't want to bend anything.
Has anyone here degree'd a cam in the engine?
I'm good with confirming engine TDC, but I'm a little confused about locating intake and exhaust degree's with the space allowed under the cam box. Maybe I need to degree the cam off the car?
Any help appreciated. I know we have more power in this engine and I think the valve timing is getting in the way (slightly)
