The 5° measurement is worst cast. I have no cherry to break and you're coming across pretty defensive. I'm just pointing out that you can eyeball it and have results that are 99.6% as accurate as a $$$ tool.
When your first post is trying to pick an argument, instead of introducing yourself in the welcome wagon like most normal members, yeah, maybe I am defensive. When it comes to camshaft timing, I choose not to "eyeball".
Ok, I didn't introduce myself in the welcome wagon way (I didn't realize it was "expected"). I just got on and was reading posts to get a feel of the community. You're posting questions and stating that the dial indicator needs to be "dead perfect" and that there is only one "perfect" way to do it. All I did was point out a fact and you get upset and have to throw out an insult.
No worries. We all do things differently. I prefer to be as accurate as possible, because there is a human involved. There was no insult. My apologies if you took it the wrong way.
If the dial indicator is grossly off, yes you will get the same centerline but your duration at 0.050" will be less then what is on the cam card. The max lift will also be reduced and then you question the grind of the camshaft.
As long as the cam lobe has a symmetrical grind, max lift should be at the centerline of the lobe.
No. It means I appreciate him giving his first post to argue with me. Does anybody not know what cherry means anymore? First time for doing something. Get it?
Who cares what you have to say, anyway. lol
I know, right? Probably just as much as I care whether they take my advice. lolWho cares what you have to say, anyway. lol
Don't get too upset that Rusty can't eyeball things he only has one.(a polecat or something like that got the other one when he was young) Besides that he's a curmudgeon.
I'd call it a discussion, you elevated it. Bust your cherry means to break your hyman (female) so I took it as you calling me a ***** for getting her hyman broken after the first encounter with a *****.
How old are you? You’ve never heard that saying before?
Did you learn that in sex ed ? What happens if both parties are virgins?54 and RustyRatRod comes across very crotchety so I took it as an insult directed at me. I wasn't insulted, he'd have to do a lot more than that. A lot of meaning is lost in written (typed) communication.
He is crotchety, but he means well. I was just curious because I work with a younger guy who never understands stuff like that. I figured it was a miscommunication.
You won't find a better guy than Rusty.

I really don't know anyone in the forum that I wouldn't or couldn't get along with.
It might take a thrown ball peen hammer, but we'd get along.
We call it seasoning.
Get over it. I told you how I meant it. I even apologized. I'm not gettin the knee pads out.
