Cam identification how-to??

Thanks guys. The pins have already been pulled right after I measured the cam when I cleaned off the old gasket.

Rob- do you think it'd be worth my while to pull the timing cover and advance the cam? I'm not even sure exactly how one goes about advancing the cam. I've degreed a few before, but have never had to adjust anything. I'm half tempted to slap it back together and enjoy it while the weather's nice.

If you degree it, then you can advance it.

Once you have it degreed, then make sure that it is installed at spec (0° advance from your degree info).

Then decide if you want to advance or retard it and use one of the offset keys for the cam to bump it a degree or two where you want it to go.

Then degree it again to verify that it went where you intended it to go (and not in the opposite direction).
