IO is Intake Open and ICL is the Intake Center Line. The cam grinder sets the ICL for the cam and all the corresponding specs (IO, IC, EO, EC). If you advance or retard the cam then you also change all those values. So if the cam should have a -5* IO installed at 114 ICL by advancing it 2* to 112 the IO should occur at -7*.

That's why I don't see how it came in at -5 when installed at both 4 and 6 degrees advanced.

Just trying to visualize. If it's supposed to be -5* retarded andyou advance it +2*, should the result be -3*? I'm just thinking of a circle. 0* -5* +2* = -3* from 0*.

Duration is open to close. So if its asymmetrical and closing sooner it would have effectively less duration. (Assuming it wasnt designed that way, and its just one or some lobes with that issue)

But I agree, changing the ICL wouldnt change duration.

You are correct Ben.

Actually, the numbers we are talking about is at .050. So they are not from opening to closing.

I stopped trying to figure it out, it's a regrind so it's a bit different than a normal shelf cam. I do know that it came in exactly what was on the card at 4* and I checked multiple times,I even started over completely to finding TDC and it was still the same. Shawn told me why it needed to be installed at 4* and not 6* but I forgot. Other than that, I have no idea why it is the way it is. However I do owe you for the ccam.

Just because you google doesn't mean you know how to use the internets.
