A Matter Of Timing
|
We degreed the cam using a typical dial indicator mounted off the pushrod. Since this engine had aluminum heads, there was no convenient place to put the magnetic base for the dial indicator. We fabricated a right-angle mounting plate out of 3/16-inch steel and bolted it to the front of the head to be able to check valve motion on cylinder No. 1. Remember that the second lifter in front is the No. 1 intake valve lifter. The first tappet in the front of the block on the driver side is the No. 1 exhaust. Make sure the dial indicator is lined up directly with the pushrod. This will eliminate reading errors. View Related Article
