Cam degreeing help me understand!

**** if I know. I've never done it that way. That's way too convoluted. With the piston stop, rotate the engine until it makes contact. Write the number down on the wheel. Rotate the engine the opposite direction. Write that number down. Halfway between those two is TDC. That just removes "ANY" room for error whatsoever.

Yea that is the same way haha. I think my first step is to make sure I'm getting a good reading on my lifter. I'm got a spare set of lifters im gonna take an old pushrod and weld it in the cup then cut it to the appropriate size. That way om not resting on the side of the lifter. Then I will re zero it. If that don't work then im gonna question my engine tech timing chain!
