Yes. And I should have said no additional clearancing was required. There was already some light clearance from build 1.

God, I hate timing camshafts. Pwasinger... we need a special fixture to save time! Spent mothers day getting all 4 within .75degree. OK, one needs some rework... it's about 2d out from where I want it.

There has to be an easier way!

Sure is fun when you're done though.

I'm fabing up a special fixture to simultaneously position two dial indicators over both the intake and exhaust lifters. Should reduce setup time a bunch.

Not this year. My job is killing me.

It would be nice to catch up.

Consider the first one sold! Here's how GM Motorsports did it with the Indycar engines early 2000's.

Thanks Todd, same approach I have in mind

curved indicator tips would be nice too. Some welding rod and the right die to make the male threads....

Glad for your talents, Phil!
