Degreeing a Cam, or not.....
I am awaiting a crankshaft turning nut, degree wheel, testing springs (so I can check clearance PV). I will then check the whole thing again. Since this picture I have moved the gears to 8*ADV. Hopefully this sets it up correctly. Also, I hope that anyone contemplating just installing dot to dot will think twice about it since they know what I went through.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the idea of just changing rocker ratios to give more lift instead of changing the cam. In Andy Finkbeiner's book he mentions even changing the rocker ratios using a larger 1.6 on the intake side and smaller 1.5 on the exhaust side. If I did that it would be easy to do and I would not have to break in a cam with all that goes with that. That would give me .550 lift on the intake side and .537 on the exhaust. This may change things other than lift such as duration. Any wisdom about that approach??
