I agree. You get it. Not everyone is going to degree a cam especially in a street application. I'm not saying that I don't agree with degreeing its just that some will take the quick and easy way out and the car will run. now with todays outsourced parts? who knows I've never had issues with dot to dot and I've assembled Ford, Mopar and GM long blocks for street applications. the dots dont go at 12 o clock its 6 oclock for the cam gear and 12 for the crank dots. Unles somethings has changed in the last feew years I havent built an engine since 2015 or so... :lol:
