I have had a couple of timing sets that just eye balling didn't work. Using the degree wheel tells the tale.
Every engine I do stock or performance gets degreed!!I wouldn’t put a performance engine together without degreeing the cam, ever…
Yup....and know more than a couple of people that's been building engines for years using the 'dot' method and after awhile, they get schooled when things are not machined right. I've seen it too many times to not use a degree wheel on any build I do (did) because you will eventually get a timing set that's not marked/machined like it should be. One doesn't have to be an automotive machinist to see errors in the machining process be it manual or automatic machining process. If one trusts other people's work.....then they will eventually pay the price of failure or sub par performance. If one doesn't know how to degree in a cam or doesn't have the expertise or the tools, then find someone that does. It'll pay dividends......I have had a couple of timing sets that just eye balling didn't work. Using the degree wheel tells the tale.
