What is this cam degreed in at?
What method was used,CL method?
I am taking it that this is a normally asperated engine,and not being sprayed
Oh and whats the LSA on this cam I must have missed it
The cam is degreed in at 31° BTDC @.050 lift at the valve stem. I use a dial indicator and degree wheel.
Normally asperated. Ron's Fuel Duel terminators burning methnol.
See link to cam spec above.
I see so what you are saying is that you used the 31* @ .050 method OK
Another thing you need to do is make sure TDC is verified with your degree wheel using a stop or dial indicator,I prefer the indicator myself
One thing for you to consider is,to do your checking at the #1 intake lobe when doing it this way,,the way you have done it at the intake valve tip you can have some error,I'd reccomend doing it at the intake lobe,then check the clearances with lite springs like someone said previously.
If you can't get proper clearances that way,I'd reccomend setting the cam in with the centerline method and advance it till get sufficent enough exhaust valve clearance.,some where around 110 degree center line would be a close start
