7" Degree Wheel at Front Damper
Asking a genuine question here, what is the reason for this?
Yes as @ DartFreak75 stated above ^^^.
We have had a couple people that are unsure of their cam timing and how they did it when they built their engine, and if it was done correctly.
Now that the engine is built and all closed up they can't get in to see the cam gears and keyways and can't set up their degree wheel to check it either.
These smaller 7" degree wheels attach outside to the damper and person can check valve timing events by pulling one valve cover, measure the valve movement at the valve keeper washer with a dial indicator.
With a little skill and luck a person can tell what cam is in the engine, and if it is properly in time.
Beats opening up the engine if you don't have too. Can probably also tell that the camshaft peaks are staring to wear off and it is getting used up, as the lift numbers would be lower than the original specs. Like .390 lift when it should be .430 lift.
Sometimes people pull the heads off and are wondering what cam is in it, cause they don't know.
They can verify the cam chain is within tolerance by rocking the crank and watching the distributor rotor.
So knowing the cam chain is good they don't have to open up the front of the engine. But they still would like to know what cam is in there. So they can use the 7" damper mount degree wheel to find out.
Lots of uses for them, the more we play around with things here. Like being able to mark where maximum advance is on the dampener also.
Hope that helps . . .
