Oh that O.G. Danny throwing a curve ball. The knowledge he shares is something one would get as his apprentice. You are very lucky he has the passion and patience to share it with you.

Setting the dials reminds me of taking pictures of my 7m build. Clicking through the pictures makes the progress look easy. But what happened behind the scenes was several hours of painstaking work.

Being a perfectionist my be time consuming BUT it pays dividends in the end :) Good job Faye .

Young lady, I would have absolutely no problem buying anything you built. Keep up the great work honey

Hallelujah. I tried degreeing my 7M TRD CAMs as they didn't come with cam card when I got them by following similar procedures I saw with push rod engines. I wasn't confident in the results. Now I know what to do. Thanks Faye 😊

I remember doing that decades ago with the original Minis. In the absence of affordable tuning following engine mods, what made practical sense was homebrew blueprinting on the 1275 engine. It was swapped in place of an 850cc, pulled out of an Austin America, as was the fashion. Starting with selective assembly and then with filing and stuffing in bits of feeler gauge, I ended up with the cam timed in to within half a degree of the spec. It was immensely satisfying since the factory tolerance was something like plus or minus 8!

Great video! I imagine it is easier to degree cams with a belt drive, i have only degreed cams on engines with timing chains. The PITA with chains is chain slop, so you have to only turn the crank clockwise. Can't go forward/backwards like you can with a belt. The way i do it: 1. Find TDC with piston stop on cyl #1, rotating engine clockwise until piston hits the stop, record number. Rotate engine counterclockwise until piston hits the stop, record number. Then position the degree wheel so that the numbers are the same in both directions. This should be TDC, verify. 2. Set up dial indicator on intake valve spring retainer cyl #1. Rotate engine until max lift is reached, zero the indicator. Then record the #s for .050" before, and .050" after max lift (just like you did) add the #s together and divide by 2, this should be your cam centerline. Repeat for exhaust cam(s) I can appreciate how long it takes to properly set up the dial indicator(s), making sure the angle is correct, otherwise the readings will be off. All of this work will be well worth it to get the engine operating at max efficiency. Having adjustable can gears will make it easy to make any adjustments, you'll get it dialed in for sure!

Hey Faye, that’s so cool when this engine build is done you’ll never be able to say I wished I would’ve done this or that which is super rare and awesome way to go Faye!!🐔🐔🐔👍

..been there.. Good job! Sad you had to back up & pull the cams again. 'Summit Racing' has been my "go to" store (..& now "online") forever practically. "You have the power!"...

Interesting! .....those chickens have the cutest personalities..they make me smile..

There are plenty of channels with hot wrench chicks working on cars and some of them are cool and legit but none of them have content as detailed as yours. This is everything they do but with professors level (HI Danny!) knowledge delivery and a personality that you can't drift away from! You're amazing and we need more humans like you and Danny. That's how we roll in SA Town!

Wow! I'm glad V8s aren't overhead cam! Geeze! You're getting there Faye

Hey Faye, I just came across your channel and I think you ladies are doing a great job. I began teaching my daughter how to use tools since she was a little over 1yr old. I always said to her "Don't ever let anyone tell you, you can't do it because you're a girl". Keep up the great work. Mick

I'm so glad you're doing this... I was just thinking I need a piston stop for my 4age. Really appreciate your videos, and you use cool words like dwell. I was just feeling salty that someone stole my timing light with a built in dwell meter. Anyhow your awesome keep up the good work.

Faye , at this point you really show your knowledge and skill. ...great work

I've worked on my fair share of cars, installed 100's of cambelts, but seeing a pro at work still makes me feel like an idiot. Great work on this build!!

Well done. A fun, clear, and consice demo! Bravo.

Hey faye, the struggle is real, I spent 2 years trying to make a set of bc264 cams in my 7m, degreed them in countless times but never got anything to match the cam card. Duration was less, lift was left, centre line was not in the middle of duration... did the best I could but the engine ran terribly, 8inch hg of vaccum at idle. Swapped back to factory cams and it works like it should. Hope you dont end up down the same rabbit hole I did.

Can’t wait to see the entire project done it’s going to be super good

Hmmm. Not an easy process unless one performs it every day. That black chicken is my favorite. Thanks Faye!

You are definitely a Genius of your craft Faye 🔧 keep on loving it as you are learning it✌🏻

Excellent show ! I hit the like button before starting to watch. It’s a no brainer 🤘🏼

I just degreed my B18C cams foe rh3 first time a couple weeks ago, one of my freind's dad showed me w trick that saves a lot of time and is still accurate enough. Set up the degree wheel as normal, find your max lift degrees on the cam card, turn the crank to that point (98° and 105° on my case) then loosen you adjistsble cam gears and turn the actual cam until you hit the highest lift on your dial indicator, tighten the cam gear and done. I did it both ways the first time and ended up in the exact same place, when I put my sleeved ramey block in over the winter i'll just use the cheat method

Alright! Finding top dead center on an engine I haven't played with YET! Let's go!

A beautiful thing, Faye Hadley!

Good afternoon everyone hope everyone is having a blessed day

Nice work, just got my 5 speed and Mfactory limited slip differential in my 1995 Saturn S series last week so feels very sporty with all the other modifications i've done, swapped seats, and got the AC running.. Gonna do my A pilar coolant temp, boost vacuum, and air fuel ration glowshift gauges next and a set of 1200 watt kickers and an amp.

Well, heck, if things were easy and everything just worked right out of the box, you'd be bored! Besides, you know your viewers all enjoy watching how you work out solutions for every challenge.

Thanks Faye! Woof woof!!

Stay awesome faye

Hello Faye very informative video Wishing you well Take Care

Thanks Faye for another awesome video 🐔🐓🐔🐤

Respect! Can hardly wait for the third part.

Another informative vid, keep them coming! 👏🏼

Oh man Faye very cool it looks like the useful tools are helping ya there

Another great video! You really make learning new things about car mechanics fun!

watched from Bryan,TX

Very cool! We do a similar procedure for locomotive engines for crankshaft timing, however we have to find BDC in order to know TDC.

Great job..very impressive

Thanks Faye have a good one:)

This is a fun video. Thanks for doing this

Thanks!

I enjoy watching your great videos Faye! I also watched the season premier of All Girls Garage with the new AC install, good stuff!

Oh the joy lol great video!

Thanks Faye Tv magic is over rated Keep it reel 😎👍🍺🇦🇺

Love this girl❤

Absolutely no shortcuts with Danny watching over your shoulder 😂

Sheeeesh, a normal person would have just lined the marks up 😂. Looking good man.

I think at this point after watching all her videos I can build a car from scratch

I have heard that setting up the cams on a Porsche 4 cam can take hours so take as long as you need cause you know what’s the end result is….. And yes, you can “ dwell “ on that! ( Thought we didn’t catch that ) 😂😂😂😂😂😂

If you struggle to do it... We probably will too. ;)

Cool

Hi Faye what power range you got that cam for mines at 4000 rpm

Was it pure chance that your pointer just happened to be in range of pointing at 0/TDC on the cam wheel, or did you do something before that to make it work out like that?

awesome video, by the time you're done, it's gonna be a shame to hide such a beautiful piece of work under a hood,...😎

Didn't Ron Popeil invent a pocket Cam Degreeing tool? If I remember correctly it also sliced and diced vegetables.

I need your help on this issue I have. I put my 7mgte at TDC all three marks on crank and both camshaft gears. Now the issue I have is a high rev and a slight misfire. Timing light is irratic with no rhythm. TDC mark on crank does not match with timing light. The question I have, is it possible to be 180 degrees out even with all 3 TDC matching? Could it be my CPS is 180° off?

Great video, Faye. I've done a cam degreeing on my Nissan truck with a NAAP Z engine. I had an adjustable gear, so I was able to dial it in right on the money. Looking forward the next chapter. Chickens rule!

Is there NOT an issue turning the motor backward ? Shouldn't you only turn the motor forward in order to determine TDC properly ?

FAYE

Is this to verify your timing or to make sure your new parts are properly installed or both

Will Faye reconfigure her engine to support the new cams? Will this build ever be finished? Will the chickens at the end make another appearance in part 3? Stay tuned for next week's episode of "Faye makes financially irresponsible decisions by getting into building racing engines"

Sup Faye?
