Excellent work. Cheers mate.

By far the best video I’ve watched on this subject. You explained the variables that could cause the ICL to be off. Great job.

Thanks for the lesson. I wanted to know how to do this purely for knowledge. I've watched other videos on this but none of them made sense. Now I understand why you're moving the height ±/- 50 thou

Great test good info. Thanks.

I need practice, but I'm subbed for sure!

i approve this tutorial on intake lobe centerline cam degeeing. it is the best method for a racing engine. but imo, on a custom street engine where idle quality is a must, i prefer to degree the cam using the intake valve opening event @ .050". that is the most important cam timing event for idle. the cam lobe centerline event is most important for racing. many times a cam grinder gets in a hurry and does not let the machine finish grinding the lobe out, that gives the lobe more duration, changing the intake valve opening event @ .050"

Thank you!

If you have a new camshaft put in by a mechanic and the degree is off, is that on you as the owner or them as the installer of the new cam?

How does changing the sprocket location change the timing if the cam stays in the same position and the crank stays in the same position. The only thing that seems do change is the sprocket location.

what would you do if you didn't have a cam card?

I have a lq9 turbo 9:5:1 with Mast heads, a BTR stg 2 cam ICL on the card wants it installed 109 That is Dot to dot, Going off the degree wheel. I ran it like that for a while but it felt a little lazy out of boost and cranking compression was a little low. So last month I pulled it apart and advanced it 5 degrees and that brought up the cranking compression 20 psi. it feels better and definitely making more power. Even the exhaust note sounds different. I think most will say that cam is not good for my combination. It should be installed on what the cam card recommends.

Great presentation; however make all measurements in timing chain tension clockwise so your degree wheel is on target. Tapping back and forth often can miss a degree.

How about the exhaust side?

slow and patient

Not clear information

Video was great easy to learn the steps on setting the cam up

7:30 and 11:40 🤔You're rotating against running rotation which changes the slack of the timing chain which will give you an inaccurate reading. 🤔 ALL cam readings must be taken with clock wise (at the degree wheel) engine rotation. 🙄

This was exceptional. Bravo 👏.

So once you retard the crank sprocket, I am assuming that you line the dots back up when you put the chain back on?

Great video.

cool video, but why it makes a difference when you only pull the crank sprocket of the crank and put it back in another keyway, when the crank or cam isnt moved ?

Yawn zzzzzzzz puka puka brrrrr pffff

I have in joy watching your video I believe that can degree my engine . It was the right fixing for me I picked up a lot of knowledge watching this video 👍👍👍

Kill the back round music.🙉

You presented this very well. The pause in editing was as effective as I have ever seen. You are a natural teacher. When you educate and indivual you educated one person. When your education makes you a teacher then you educate us all. From a Texas brother to a brother down under, " You done good."

Kick ass Clay Smith!!!!

When you install the timing chain did you line it up dot to dot??

Cam degree for dummies.. perfect video for me 😂

Why not reverse center lines to get better performance

❤❤❤

Between the lobe separation and your spring pressure specs i see why they all carry rpm so well and strong. Nice. Very nice.

This was my childhood in the 80s along with Super shops

We need more videos on small block chevys

Yea kinda weird he turned the sproket and not the cam 😮

Why wouldn't you show how to install the degree wheel and dial indicator??

This makes no sense because I e watched simple videos of easy aftermarket raving cam shaft being installed and not once was this stupid degreeing was done and truck still has insane power.. sooo yeah, you don't' "have" to do that. Someone explain

ive a 496 chevy with 305 afr heads 10:25 cr. ive the smallest voodoo solid roller cam but want to go to hr with short travel lifters can you make a grind with 629 lift and about 240 @050 ground on 108 lsa? also too.where would you degree that cam for optimum?

If you have a camshaft that the numbers have been ground down because of secretive engine tuners. How do you find your valve lift and duration? Valve lift should be easy enough but the duration... I'm not sure

great i understand finally

Very nice as I'm about to dive off into the ge cam degreeing abyss. Excellent explantation. Will the lifters in the kit work with a solid roller cam. Thank you. All help is greatly appreciated

thank you

7:13. Did you already set the indicator to 0 off screen or did you luck out being right on the zero? "Once we get it to this point you bring the lifter to full lift." It wasn't already at full lift???? Were you just talking about the indicator set up? Then you spun it to full lift again instead of showing it the first time??

Nice Nick! Rock it Kool!

Great video ! l have a 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0 Turbo * (gasoline) do you have any hi perf. cams for sale ? The onl help l could get in this respect was Crowler would " re-grind" an original set of cams. Can you, or anyone seeing this recommend something for this engine ? Thanks K.😜

I don't know much about clay Smith cams yet I'm on a bench to figure it out but they have the coolest logo of any cam manufacturer I've ever seen!

With the camshaft swaps depicted in the video, how did you verify the piston to valve clearance with the heads on? Thank you, Mike

You make cams and lifters. You should address all the exploding lifter drama.

That degree wheel way too small for any amount of accuracy.

Great video! 2 degrees isn't much. Would have liked to see you check exhaust too. I always check both intake and exhaust. Sometimes intake is off one way and exhaust is off the other way so you split the difference.

nicely done
