 Post subject: Cam Degreeing Question
PostPosted: Sat Nov 03, 2001 5:08 pm 
I'm building a street/strip performance /6 and have questions on cam degreeing. Engine is assembled (lower assembly and head) except for rockers and shaft.Question is: How do I set up the dial indicator to dial in the custom ground cam? My dial indicator won't reach down in the lifter galley to set directly on the lifter. I perfer not to install the rockers and work off the retainers due to the heavy springs and possible lobe wear due to having minimal lubricant on the lifter and cam lobes when checking travel. Any tips?????????

You can do one of two things that I have tried
one is to have some one make a long shaft the same diameter as the lifter only about twice the
length, or use two old lifters glued together
with JB weld or some equivalent, if you glue two lifters clean well both on the pushrod end and
apply the glue then set them together in a piece of angle iron to keep them straight till the glue sets.
