Which is the correct way to set the camshaft timing?
This method of setting the camshaft timing is referred to as “Valve Full Lift Position” or “Maximum Opening Point” (commonly abbreviated as MOP) and is used when setting valve timing on symmetrical camshafts.
Why do I need a degree wheel on my camshaft?
These factors include, but are not limited to, an improperly marked timing chain, errors when machining the block, assembly errors, or even an improperly ground camshaft. To find pistonTDC, you will need a degree wheel attached to your crankshaft, a degree-wheel pointer, and a piston stop.
What should the camshaft be at 106 degrees?
In the case of the inlet cam, this should be 106 degrees A.T.D.C. At this point, the drive can be disconnected and the camshaft rotated slightly until the inlet valve is fully open. Having ascertained the point where the inlet valve is fully open, the drive should then be reconnected.
How do you install a camshaft on a car?
Install the camshaft on the standard timing marks with the valve clearances set to the correct running. Zero the dial gauge with the chosen valve on its seat. Now turn the crankshaft to T.D.C. and note the valve lift. If it is not correct then disconnect the cam drive and rotate the camshaft alone until the correct lift is achieved.
How is the timing of the camshaft set?
The cam timing can now be set by the following initial procedure described in “Method 2” and then turning the crank to the appropriate position. In the case of the inlet cam, this should be 106 degrees A.T.D.C. At this point, the drive can be disconnected and the camshaft rotated slightly until the inlet valve is fully open.

What’s the best way to advance the camshaft?
CAUTION: You must recheck your piston to valve clearance after advancing or retarding you camshaft timing. EXAMPLE: To advance the camshaft, you install the crankshaft sprocket using the keyway marked A. Then you align the A mark on the outer edge of the sprocket with the dot marked on the camshaft sprocket, mark to mark.
What happens to cam timing at high RPM?
THE CAM TIMING WHEN CHECKED AND SET AT THE DESIRED POSITION SHOULD” ALWAYS” TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION “CHAIN STRETCH OR TIMING BELT DEFLECTION” THUS, ALTERING OR RETARDING THE CAMSHAFT AT HIGH RPMs! MANY OVERLOOK THIS !
