Nice video. But I have a couple of questions. 1. When you changed the crankshaft timing, did you have to reset the timing marks back up? I did not see that step. The way it looked in the video, he just moved the crank gear and put it back together. So there would be no actual change in the cam. Meaning the cam would have to move. 2. Nice to have all the fun gears, but I feel you should have included the steps to change cam degree without that gear. A lot of us are on a budget. Thank you

I see 65° and 151° for ICL 😂. You write it wrong. It was 108°, not 107°.

Watched several videos on degreeing a camshaft. This was the best one.
@flinch622 28 күн бұрын
Before the how, why: all machining has tolerances. So... lets say each step/component has a 1/2 degree error, and they all happen to tilt one way: crank keyway, broach on bottom sprocket, dowel pin on the cam, indexing of upper sprocket as drilled and finally... the indexing of the grind itself. You have 2 1/2 degrees of built in error - and parts [out of the box] look perfect.

So if im degreeing in one of your hyd roller cams what lifters do i use the ones in Kit or Lifterin the CSCam Kit lifter thanks so much ALSO PLEASE I want a loby Idle / Rough Idle Cam are any of these ?? I am looking for a wild sound CS Cams rom you all thanks P#SKU:160-3105 or this one P#sku: 160-3106 I am Building a 496 BBC Good heads Intake Carb 12.1 Compresion

I never used the centerline method, I always used the opening and closing @.050 method BTW l just degreed your 160-3106 cam for my 496 bbc, I'll have to wait till the spring though.😀

i approve this tutorial on intake lobe centerline cam degeeing. it is the best method for a racing engine. but imo, on a custom street engine where idle quality is a must, i prefer to degree the cam using the intake valve opening event @ .050". that is the most important cam timing event for idle. the cam lobe centerline event is most important for racing. many times a cam grinder gets in a hurry and does not let the machine finish grinding the lobe out, that gives the lobe more duration, changing the intake valve opening event @ .050"

If you have a new camshaft put in by a mechanic and the degree is off, is that on you as the owner or them as the installer of the new cam?
@joaquin0023 7 ай бұрын
How does changing the sprocket location change the timing if the cam stays in the same position and the crank stays in the same position. The only thing that seems do change is the sprocket location.
@charlescostello1894 7 ай бұрын
what would you do if you didn't have a cam card?
@scottgarmon4865 7 ай бұрын
I have a lq9 turbo 9:5:1 with Mast heads, a BTR stg 2 cam ICL on the card wants it installed 109 That is Dot to dot, Going off the degree wheel. I ran it like that for a while but it felt a little lazy out of boost and cranking compression was a little low. So last month I pulled it apart and advanced it 5 degrees and that brought up the cranking compression 20 psi. it feels better and definitely making more power. Even the exhaust note sounds different. I think most will say that cam is not good for my combination. It should be installed on what the cam card recommends.
@januaryonenineteenseventy4195 7 ай бұрын
Great presentation; however make all measurements in timing chain tension clockwise so your degree wheel is on target. Tapping back and forth often can miss a degree.

@hotrodray6802 10 ай бұрын
7:30 and 11:40 🤔You're rotating against running rotation which changes the slack of the timing chain which will give you an inaccurate reading. 🤔 ALL cam readings must be taken with clock wise (at the degree wheel) engine rotation. 🙄

So once you retard the crank sprocket, I am assuming that you line the dots back up when you put the chain back on?

After he retarded the crank sprocket I didn't see him turn the crank to line the dots back up , nor did they in another video I watched .

cool video, but why it makes a difference when you only pull the crank sprocket of the crank and put it back in another keyway, when the crank or cam isnt moved ?
@alanmeyers3957 7 ай бұрын
When you move the slot in the chain and put it back on, it’s moved, without physically moving, do you understand?

@deltabravo5719 7 ай бұрын
If we dont purchase an adjustable cam timing chain, then none of that process is even possible. 2. If you retard your "bigger" cam... you match the lifter openings more perfectly as to the timing of cylinder movement. Summary: while cams and crank shafts are auto timed for all standard applications... think me walking into general auto parts store saying gimmee a sbc cam for a 305(stock)!! Aftermarket...(street racing), more rowdy cams, etc... can use and benefit from a micro adjustment versus the crank in order to eeek out that last 1 to 10 percent of power at high rpms. A larger cammed motor will still run even if the cam is not perfectly timed...... kinda like lifting your foot off the pedal of yer bike before your leg rounded the bottom of the rotation...(just an example). Still possible Lots of power But maybe leaving some wasted energy in mid stroke. Best wishes.

ive a 496 chevy with 305 afr heads 10:25 cr. ive the smallest voodoo solid roller cam but want to go to hr with short travel lifters can you make a grind with 629 lift and about 240 @050 ground on 108 lsa? also too.where would you degree that cam for optimum?
@GarageNation353 Жыл бұрын
If you have a camshaft that the numbers have been ground down because of secretive engine tuners. How do you find your valve lift and duration? Valve lift should be easy enough but the duration... I'm not sure
@alanmeyers3957 7 ай бұрын
Watch the video, he just showed you how to find the duration, which works on every cam and then he showed you how to calculate lsa based on duration @ .50

7:13. Did you already set the indicator to 0 off screen or did you luck out being right on the zero? "Once we get it to this point you bring the lifter to full lift." It wasn't already at full lift???? Were you just talking about the indicator set up? Then you spun it to full lift again instead of showing it the first time??

@@sawyerbarnes7439 Yes he sat up the dial gauge and put the intake lobe to it's highest lift point (lifter at tdc) and put the gauge on 0 off camera and then did it again since he didn't show it the first time and landed on 0 because he already zeroed it the first time off camera . At the end he found out the intake lobe was at max lift a few crankshaft degrees off so he took it apart and changed it .
