So I had to pay the piper, luckily I found someone local with them in stock. Gave me a discount and used our resale card to a price of $1488, anywho, here they are

Not a lot, I couldn't find the keyway for the crank. So I spent a couple hours putting together the canopy for the gray car.

Degreed the camshaft tonight. it was a complete cluster fuck, but for other reasons. anywho, Ron was having an issue with this one coming into spec. I started off by installing it at the 6* advanced like he did. here's what I got
112.5 LC
215/220
-5 & 40
-1.5 & 41

These are no where near the specs on the card, so I installed it at the 4* like in my motor and here's what I got
114 LC
217/217
-5 & 42.5
-5 & 42.5

So like I thought the cam was too advanced and makes sense why it came in at 112. Now it's right on the money and came in perfectly.

That doesn't make sense. If you retard the cam 2 degrees the the IO would occur 2 degrees later and would be -3 instead. The duration at 0.050 will be the same no matter whether the ICL is 112 or 114.

Then the only answer is the cam is asymmetrical. I checked it, over and over, did it probably 20 times tconfirrm, it was right on.

That doesn't explain it. An asymmetrical lobe just has a different closing profile than opening profile. The IO would still occur at -3 if you retarded it 2 degrees and the duration at .050 would still be 215/220 no matter what the ICL is.

I have no clue then, I only degreed it once at 6* then a few dozen times at 4*
I even installed it at 8* to see the change at it was at 110.5 but didnt do the rest, It was about 3 am and I was low on sleep to begin with. Put it back at 4* and it came in the same every time, -5 and 217. I'm not going to pull it back out to try and track it down.

Don't know much about cams other than what they do generally. What's IO and ICL?
