My first cam install was a Triumph 650, in the 1970s. Separate intake and exhaust, new cams to replace badly worn originals [no hardening]. After messing with degree wheels for a couple of days I called Norris... they opined that maybe they hadn't ground those cams to spec after all, but 'it should work if you time the exhaust to the intake spec'. It never ran right... now new hardened stock cams are going in the old girl, and this video will be a big help.
@jrbird75712 жыл бұрын
Great stuff. I had a Pontiac 400 built years ago and the builder must have put a much larger cam than what he thought it was. When I started having issues, I put a degree wheel on it and found that it was 236/244 @ .050 110 .560 lift. All with stock 6x-4 heads and springs!!! No wonder I found crushed valve stems seal rings ... in the top of the head.

I loved this video, thanks so much for making great content. Also for making educational videos fun. It's not just theory your really doing it live and proving it at the same time😁👍👍 I am working on an OHC Ford engine right now and I liked what you said about retarding vs advancing the cam timing by a couple of degrees. If my engine could use a little more low end torque can I advance the cam a couple of degrees to give me a slight improvement on the low end torque? Let me know your thoughts on this because the cam drive gears are not keyed to the cam so I have a little freedom there.😉

Hi! Thanks, I'm trying to understand this procedure and all of the details that go into a cam, and its installation. Your videos are the most comprehensive, clear, and easy to understand that I've come across. I'm about to rebuild my Ford 400, from the bottom up. I am fairly new to this, and this is the one step in the process that's a bit intimidating. One question, do you want to be able to check for piston to valve clearance so there's no chance of these two components contacting each other during first startup? I guess it worries me a bit putting a new cam in that will have slightly more lift, after the block deck has been machined down, as well as the head surface. I'll keep watching your videos to learn more! Thanks again.
@ronniecox1096 ай бұрын
And while that degree wheel is still on , put the weak springs on No 1. And check piston to valve clearance, 30° before and 30 after, check every 5° ,zeroing mike before each step. Clay works, but rather see the numbers.

I used to build a lot of small blocks for you people that's the Chevrolet engine, I was putting one together with the set of TRW gears; I always set the engine at top dead center number one and number 6 which is the same, and then I set the cam what number 6 overlap and then I put on the timing gears this one time the TRW lower crank gear is one tooth off where they drove the mark should I double checked it with the old gear and sure enough it was off by one tooth so i Mark the gear and used it it, as machinists I share the story with several different machinist I knew two of them caught the problem before they installed the gears. You got to think how many people put those engines together with the gears 1 tooth off and wondered why the engine still run too good. How many hundreds of gears did they produce with one tooth off in the lower crank gear???.

You don’t need to rotate the engine to 50 thou. All you need to do is rotate it clockwise and watch the dial indicator when it stops moving mark the wheel then start rotating again, when the dial indicator starts moving again, mark the wheel again. Half way between those two marks it true TDC .
