Pulling my hair out a bit, well whats left of it.
I am putting in a new set of cams and looking to get the timing as best as I can. When all set up as per Richardson I find the difference between the front cylinder cam and rear cylinder cam on intake lift is 5 deg. The front cam trailing by 5 deg compared to the rear.
In a bid to get them closer thought that if I advanced the front cylinder cam by one tooth (as the pinion has 48 teeth = 7.5 deg) then the difference between the two cams would be only 2.5 deg with the front cylinder cam now being slightly in advance.
However when I have done this and I have done it several times to make sure, I find the intake lift on the front cylinder cam advances 15 deg not 7.5 deg making the difference between the two worse at 10 deg.
Am I missing something? Any help to stop me going crazy would be very much appreciated
