  • i'm confused how you went to measure the lifter after you left the piston stop in. can you tell me why you stopped on 12.5 degrees? Did you remove the piston stop after? you explain that you are stopping the piston right before top dead center. I assume you use the piston stop a little lower than TDC and check it both ways until it balances. Then assuming you take off the piston stop, you would have ZERO on your degree wheel indicating true TDC, correct?

  • With the piston stop on adjust the degree wheel so as the piston stops it reads the same degrees before tdc and after tdc. Then halfway between is true tdc. Then remove the piston stop to check lifter rise.

  • how do you like the sv-10 hone?

  • @fordstrokers We really like the sv10 hone, we have a set of diamond stones so it will basically bore also, but I still prefer a boring bar that centers on the main journals for boring.

  • how often do you need to degree the camshaft?

  • Degree-wheel measurements taken close to full-lift or close to zero-lift (like 0.006"),are the least accurate.Measure at 0.050" lift or even 0.100" lift,then calculate the position of the lobe centre. An errror in cam profile or measurement reading of 0.001" or 0.002" only changes the degree reading about 1/2 degree @ 0.050". At 0.006",the error is more like 2 or 3 degrees.

  • you will also have problem for the valves and real position, assuming they have some WEAR

  • hey dude THANKS finally a good video about this.

  • @slingblade1991 i guess im wondering the same thing..... it so you can charge more cuz youll have the knowledge of degreeing a cam this is too confusing for me

  • Thanks for posting this.

  • The title says it all, you show the easy way how to get this done! Great vid

  • hmmm, you moved the dregree wheel to find true tdc, you could have just moved your pointer to 12.5 degrees... a bit easier than torquing the degree wheel without spinning it.

  • So basicly the point of degreeing a cam is to check that it was ground within specifications?

  • Super video.
