Subject: RE:hydraulic roller cam install /product questions by CFI-EFI on 2008/1/31 2:44:01 Use a cam for a 1987 and up roller cam engine, the timing set for the same and the stock retainer plate with the two bolts. You don't need any of those fancy, expensive, retro roller cam parts in the catalogs. If you suspect the cam will be weak on the bottom end, like you were told, advance it. If you think it will be lacking on the top end, retard it. Better yet, buy the right cam for the job and degree it in, straight up. Aligning the dots is much easier with the cam sprocket dot at 6:00 o'clock. It doesn't matter if the cam sprocket dot is at 12:00 or 6:00. At 12:00 the engine is on TDC at the start of the #1 cylinder power stroke. At 6:00, it is the #6 cylinder that is starting the power stroke. Once the cam sprockets are installed. if you want #1 at TDC, rotate the crank one turn. RACE ON!!! |
