shewww... its complicated enough to degree one cam in a pushrod motor, muchless two.

Alot of people were having problems with those Comp 270's a couple years ago...Comp grinds in 4 degrees advance and when your timing is already screwed up and advanced like Rans is (5 degree advance) that is 9 degrees in advance No wonder people were having PTV issues.

yep I tonight I am grinding the key ways off and retarting the passenger side 5 degrees and the driver side 3 to get my center line of 109. and she will be running by the end of the week.

Good News!!!!

Well I got the passenger side done I retarted it 5 degrees it know reads 144 degrees ATDC and 74 BTDC which is 109 degrees where my cam car is supposed to be. so I am happy now I need to finish up the driver side and retard that on 3 degrees

So this cam swap was pretty difficult?

Rantheman

no I rebuilt my motor about 4,000 miles ago with the cams in. but developed a valve tap and decided I should degree my cams. but I installed the cams with the motor out of the car!!

Rantheman

I figured this is a good topic for people wanting to know about cams and why you should degree them thats why I decided to post it. enjoy!!

Have you noticed any power gains from degreeing the cams? I'm thinking about doing it but only for the extra HP. I already have the PTV clearance becuase I got my new pistons fly cut.

Rantheman

yeah there is. if your cams are degreed and in sync there is power to be made!!
