  • This video is how to degree Comp 262 cams in a SOHC 4.6 V8 but it will be similar for 5.4 V8. I prefer to get within .5 degree of the recommended centerline.
    -Trick Flow cam degree kit: TFS-90000-16
    -Trick Flow Steel base and solid lifter: TFS-90100
    -Comp Cams crankshaft socket: 4793
    Tips:
    -Make sure your dial indicator is zeroed out before each reading.
    -Readings should be repeatable.
    -Take your time and don't get frustrated taking parts on and off

    Best video on cam degreeing a 2v mod motor. Been building for years and this guy has by far been the best.

    my first 2v, i was lost, watched a ton of videos and lots of reading just to get my head around it..... this is a perfect video to make it simple for a guy to understand when he plans to do cams. great job!

    When I have a balancer with no marks I just put a piston stop in, put a piece of tape on balancer go clockwise till it hits, make a mark and then go counter clockwise until it hits again, make a mark and the distance directly between the two is your tdc. No math needed lol

    Wouldnt vernier gears be a better option than grinding the keyways

      In my opinion, you do not need to degree factory camshafts.

    Awesome looking to find a donor crown vic. Or f150 4.6 2v to remove the 302 and swap it out can I use a PI engine and install none PI pistons to increase compression looking to get a bit more HP and better MPG

    My biggest hiccup is seeing how the adjustable crank or cam gears apply to this. I see the idea is to find the centerline and you use the adjustable gears to either retard or advance timing to help get to the correct centerline, but the how is where i get lost. For example if centerline is off do i really have to pull the chains off and move the crank gear over a tooth or two then put everything back on? thats the process im stuck at

    • @JohnSmithRacing
      @JohnSmithRacing  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Moving the chain is worth about 4 degrees I believe. However, if you have adjustable gears you can dial it in by using the adjustment available. If you do not have the adjustable ones you can grind the keyway in the cam gear to be able to move the gear around.

      The ones that work with aftermarket cams is the 12mm one ARP PN: 256-1001

    Alright I'm confused...so how do you know how far to adjust the piston stop? I mean what if the piston isn't at TDC because the piston stop is screwed in too far? how to do you know exactly?

    • @JohnSmithRacing
      @JohnSmithRacing  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The piston stop doesn't stop the piston at TDC. It stops it before TDC as a reference. Then piston is pulled back down and then around to TDC again on the other side. The split the difference between the two and it gives you TDC.

    • @johnpadgett4069
      @johnpadgett4069 ปีที่แล้ว

      You guess and set wheel at say 6 degrees then spin crank around and if it stops at say 10 degrees
      Thats 4 degrees difference and so half that is 2 degrees so set wheel at 8 degrees and see if it hits piston stop at 8 degrees when crank is turned either direction.
      Goal is to find TDC

    Is this necessary if using factory cams?

      No, just align the factory timing marks.

      Yes, and they are great cams. Needed very little tuning after installation and make a great power curve.
