in this video I will take you through all the steps to degree your camshaft and explain the theory behind it. I will also discuss whether you really need to do it. You might be surprised.

What's the power range on that Crower cam ?
What do you 2 gents think of the Isky 264 Mega cam ?
It's also a circle track cam ,but with much less duration. 214° @ .050 .
Good job! Very helpful. Top line camera work!
HEI is an excellent ignition/distributor once it receives a “Performance” advance curve and added mechanical stop for the mechanical advance. The stock “Heavy” mechanical advance springs are way to slow advancing the mechanical timing.
***Not having a positive stop for the mechanical advance will result in unwanted timing advance with engine rpms above 4800-5300+ due to “Spring stretch” being the only limiting factor fighting centrifugal force. JD
Very nice video, thanks
Tha ks for the content.
A quick suggestion: your audio is below average. You start off sentence loud and clear, but soon volume starts drooping. I recommend applying "auto levels" in your camera or editing software.
Allan, you make it harder than it needs to be… You are right, find top dead center first to the degree wheel. I have a tool that has two type of solid lifters that fits in the lifter bore. One is for a flat tappet cam and the other for a roller cam. Dial indicator fits in the top of them and is done in number one intake lifter bore. Turn engine over until it is on the heel of cam, rotate engine to highest lift and set dial indicator on 0, than turn engine until dial indicator reads .050" than write down the number on degree wheel, than go down .050" on the other side of love and write it down, add the two numbers together and divide by two and that's what lobe center the cam is installed on… Good job Allan, as long as it works buddy… I pump oil to every rocker arm before starting the engine. I don't work on many stock engines anymore, mostly race engine that make alot of HP, BBC and sbc…
the oil screen is a great tip- along with all of your other tips-thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, not many have the opportunity to learn about engine building directly from someone that's willing to teach them what they know. Last year i built up a spare 305 Chevy that i put together mostly by learning (and gaining confidence) from other videos here on Youtube. I'm planning to build a 7k rpm capable 350 now… but i'm looking forward to any more content from you, thanks again!!
awesome Allan.
