Cam degree..

That'll be 2 to 2.5 degrees retarded. If it was ME and I wanted to install it so as to take into consideration for chain stretch, I'd install it at 106 instead of 108. That way, by the time the chain has broken in, it'll be closer to the 108, instead of around 112 or so from you leaving it 2 or so degrees retarded.

Okay back inside now I had my thinking reversed I believe... I had to get out there and start cracking on this and figure out all my problems... I know Ken at Oregon cam offered advice if I called him but of course I get to do this on the weekend. As well as the owner of the machine shop where the block was done...
Of course I have no oil slinger so I'll be sourcing one of those from someone local. I don't know why I can't find the one that I'm sure I have.
And wouldn't you know it the push rods are too short..:BangHead:...
I have plenty of parts to clean for now so I'll just continue there.. I did get the passenger side head installed but due to the light of the news timing situation I'll probably just hold off on the passenger side so I can check the degree again...
