Hello! Im trying to degree the camshaft in My 426 and about to loose My mind. I understand its not really possible to help over a forum but maybe someone has experienced similar issues and can give me some tip on what im doing wrong.
The cam is a Hughes Whiplash, installed centerline should be 102°.
Intake timing @0.50":
Open: 13° BTC
Close: 38° ATC
When i set the timing chain "Dot to dot", ofc with the engine at true tdc. I get around 106.5° centerline every time i do it and whatever procedure i use.
So reasonably i should advance it 4° to get it to around 102° right?
Problem is, every time i advance it i end Up with 96.5°, wich shouldnt really be possible?
Also at 0.50" lift im dead on the 13° like the cam card says, but on 0.50" when the lifter is going down im at 26.5° instead of 38. This sounds very odd as well?
When i retard i get around 110.5°, wich also reasonable and matches if i add 4° to the original 106.5.
Any input is welcome, i have put like 15 hours on this this week and is Still on Square One.
