DSM8 409 Posted September 27, 2024 Have a project coming up and wanted to see if there was anyone here with experience using a degree wheel for a cam installation. Specifically for a Ford 351 Cleveland motor but that really should not matter. Have not done this since the late 80's so thought to check here first and see if anyone had the wheel etc before i went out and bought something I would only use once.

Mr.JAJA 428 Posted September 28, 2024 Install a fixed sparkplug in number 1. Turn left, mark location. Turn right, mark location. The center is TDC. Fix the degree wheel on the Cam gear. Take the fixed sparkplug out and turn the crank and watch with a dial gauge when you're intact valve on the first cylinder starts to open. Read the deg on the wheel. I assume you know how to fix the deg wheel and in what position. Now do it on a flat 6 Porsche. Sorry I don't have a picture from it on the Phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSM8 409 Posted September 28, 2024 Ok so note to self call Udo when the time comes... got it And this will be on a big ol American piece of iron so plenty of room to work, you can actually sit in the engine compartment while doing this with room to spare....

Mr.JAJA 428 Posted September 29, 2024 That must be a US made. I have a German made, no Instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
