Default Re: Hey Pete... want to time my cams?

The motor is not coming out this year. This was just a thought when I noticed how accessable the cam sprockets were. The problem is being able to see what you are doing at the crank pulley to the level of accuracy needed.
Maybe next year....

You can do it but it is a pain. You will need the crank position pin as well as the cam pins, a piston stop to zero the timing wheel, and a dial guage. I used to have a paper timing wheel that I could glue to some cardboard to the front dampener. That way it fit inside the cross member and I could turn the crank. I would also pull the cooling pack out to get a better shot at turning the crank. After that it was just plain ole timing of the cams. It generally worked out about 1.25 degrees on the timing wheel per thousandth inch on the dial guage. You will know what I am talking about if you have timed cams. You must have new cam bolts or you will never get the correct torque on the timing plates.

Have fun..
