Please never stop doing these videos for us. I rebuilt my sbc just with watching all of your sbc rebuilt, cleaning & stuff videos. Runs like a charm since 05/2018. Thank you for your videos and sharing all your knowledge with us!

I only wish that you know, I repeat, you know, how educative your videos are and can not thank you enough. God Bless your life!

Excellent instruction. As a Pontiac guy, this procedure works on our V8 engines perfectly. Well done.

Hey every one I Just noticed around 1900 there is 20 seconds of silence I am working on fixing this Thank You

Even English isn't my native, I can almost totally get a ton out of this tutorial, and this has got to be the best, most direct and obvious cam instruction on YT!

Hi I just wanted to say you are THE BEST on KZfaq. Your cam video was so useful and so are your others. Thank you so much. I’m 23 and building a Chevelle, it’s nice to have these videos available for help without having to ask questions old times may think are stupid.

The clarity with which you explain what you are doing, how to do it and why is second to none here on YT, at least that i have seen. It is really awesome.

This video really helped me. Most cam degreeing videos are very vague and don’t describe in exact detail the ins and outs of everything. Thank you. Subscribed!

My friend that was a incredible lesson. Thank you for taking your time to explain all that information in a clear and strength forward manner. 👍

Imagine this dude teaching this in person? Glad he was my instructor. Used this knowledge a couple of times. Soon to degree my new cam in my 57 F100

I can't thank you enough for these videos, im building my first engine (77 ford 460) and would be lost without your knowledge thank you so much!!!!

I think this guy is....great instructor, I like how he teaches.....great job..

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.

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.

Sitting in the ER waiting for my next patient, love this vid thanks for great explanation!

I’m a retired engineman from the USN. That’s the first time I’ve heard of this that way. Thanks

It was still a great video for cams !!!!!! When you exhaust the info on cams, move on to springs and what is needed to be known about them to select the right ones !!!!! Thanks for all you provide for us !!!!!!!

Best video I've seen on degreeing a cam

Excellent engine building lesson. Greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge 🙏

This is the best how to degree a cam I've seen. Thanks bud!

Thank you very much. Another great video. Blessings and more Blessings to you and your Family

Very good explanation , I put the ramjet cam in my 350 vortec , just keeping my fingers crossed that it is ok .I have never degreed a cam .Thanks for the video .

Killer vid mate! It's great to see a proper grassroots bloke simplifying and making easy for others to understand the complexities of how stuff works! You got a fan here mate, look forward to more of your content 💪😎👌

Great description best I've see yet. 👍👍

best description I've seen. Thank you! Great job

One of the best vids on this I have seen, thanks. If I watch it a dozen more times, and take notes, maybe I will "get it" LOL

Awesome advice mate ,very helpful 👍🇦🇺

Brilliant! Much more informative and simple to follow!

Very informative, very interesting, I've been interested since high school in learning how to do this, 40 years ago, thanks.

Excellent video. Very clear presentation. Great job! Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation and degree a cam shaft. Very helpful in learning how to do this!

Thanks! this confirms I did it right . I came up with 108-106. 2 degrees nothing to be worried about.

Excellent video. Thank you!

Best cam degree video I"ve seen yet. Well done.

I build my engine just looking at your channel. You're so detail in what you do it's easy to follow much appreciated. I'm getting ready to rebuild my 5.7 Gen3 hemi .030 overbore. Using your channel will help me out alot

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Very informative.

Camshaft Decree: Thou valves shall open on time.

Love these vids and the detail you provide.

I learned some valuable information today. That even i could understand & i dont have any engine building experience. Well done & thank you👌

Great video! It now makes sense! Thank you!

Wish you would have been my teacher in the late 70's when I was in Ag. Mechanic's school, They taught us how to find true TDC using a piston stop instead of the dial indicator method, not saying it's better just easier.😁 This is a very informational video that I'm sure will help alot of people, especially the younger generation. 👍

Perfect understandable explanation, thanks! Now, if I only had the tools.

This guy has the best teacher mood. Very glad from 🇵🇷

Thanks again for your good video. I do my first cam degreeing now on my FE 390 by using this video. So everything is perfekt with my cam. I do a very stock rebuilt, except I use a roller cam and roller rocker. I ordered the cam and rockers from Brent Lykins. He helped me with a cam profile and other parts I will need for my rebuilt.

Thanks very much! Very good explanation and helps to understand the whole process...

Bravo !!!!! Great video young man, god bless.

soo cool, great explanation!

Thank you so much for sharing, in the process of building a 440 for my 69 GTX and this will help me get it right. Mike :)

The Professor !!!! Love it

You are a very good teacher! Job well done thank you so much.

Thank you for explaining it in layman's for me...everyone else just blew through it, awesome video

Fabulous info built many engines but 4 -5 years go by refresher is good not to miss nothing will refresh again soon my engines turn

Awesome, very informative man, keep up the good videos!

Good stuff, you are excellent at explaining the process. You must have been a teacher in a previous life.

I Learned à lot from your lesson. Thank you,

Great video!

If you don't mind ( I can't imagine that you would but feel I need to ask) I'd like to refer to you on my channel. I'm documenting my first real build and I stress to both of my viewers ;-) that my channel is NOT a how to channel. Your channel is my go to for how to information and has been instrumental in me having the confidence to build an engine. I've know a lot of people with knowledge of a subject but who were unable to teach others. You are a great teacher. Thank You.

They never show any of this on the TV shows when they replace the stock cam in an engine. I know it's time consuming, but it should at least be mentioned. Great video.

Would now be a good point to do a 'how to' check valve to piston clearance video :) - Fantastically used channel - thanks..

I really appreciate all your videos you are Excellent you explain well and always easy to understand, I play in High performance but in an amateur way and whenever I am not 100% sure I go see your videos. So right now going to degree my 580 cid 720hp 760 hp with the old Kinetic cam to see if any grinder could improve it. Thanks again and please keep doing your awesome videos!

Fantastic video. Can you do a video on why you would want to advance a cam and how to do it?

You just put new life in my project, guess I'll go back to it

Very easy to understand information. Thanks m8

Thank you for sharing., great video.

Great video brother

Best video for us newbies finally can see the wheel in the video Thank you

It's always simple AFTER you understand, Thanks!

Its pretty cool that phil jackson of the legendary bulls degrees cams nowadays

I watched 3 other videos until i came across this one. All three were shit. Yours was great. Great job, thank you.

Great teacher. love the video.

Excellent video young people can learn a lot from you

Nice video man 👍✌

Thanks for all your effort in making this video. I am trying to find out what cam is in this car. I have no cam card, so while I have it apart I want to make sure that is best suited for the street.

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.😉

I always double check this on the companion cylinder as well. These days I have seen some flat tappet cams be way off on the grind cylinder to cylinder.

nice presentation sir

Great instructions thanks

Thanks its seems easier than when I was taught.

Hey thanks , I hope the marker pen comes off of that nice degree wheel

Absolutely best explained video out of the 10 I watched! So degreeing the cam is really just to double check the manufacturer to be sure they sent you the right cam, and fine tune if you have a really higher performance engine?

You should do a video on dynamic compression and relation to intake valve closing after bdc

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.

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.

Clearly explained

so degreeing the cam is necessary too when replacing an OE camsaft not only when building an engine, as you said the cams can be boxed incorrectly?

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???.

Question , is this process performed for each cylinder to verify the specs for all lobes on the cam Or just one cylinder is adequate? Thx.

Informational Gold!!! thank you sir

Should you do another cylinder to ensure that all the lobes are ground consistently?

Will chain stretch make the offset worse or better?

GREAT instruction!!! Question...is it absolutely necessary to degree the cam in a rebuild on a 1968 Corvette 327/350?

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 .

Or you can add 67 and 22 and subtract from 360. It's a circle so it works both ways.

Хорошо объяснил! Если можно включай титры. Русским будет понятнее

Love your vids, thx quick question.. if I put Vortec heads on a 1988 GM 350 which length pushrods do i use? from the vortec engine that i yanked the heads off, or my original TBI GM block? thanks

We need to see what the adjustments are if the cam timing is out.

Thanks

Good morning old dude 😃

Do you first set dial gauge to aproximate TDC then set wheel to 0 degree then turn piston clockwise and counter clock wise 0.050 because the camshaft is 0.050" lift

Спасибо из России.
