Degreeing a Cam, or not.....

Yeah, it can be that far off. I've seen a few that far and farther. It's not real uncommon. I would absolute verify the heck out of it, though. I wish we were local, I'd come give you a hand with it. We could screw it up together. LOL

Remember, if you decide to take readings off the pushrod side, you're now reading lobe lift, not gross lift at the valve.

Thanks for the offer. I checked and double checked and to me the numbers all point to retarded 8* or so. I will continue checking as I break it down. I will remove the rockers and do a check directly on the pushrods. If I find the same results, out with the cam and start over. a couple weekends ought to do it. I will do it correctly this time.
