Got it. Little tips like that are extremely helpful. Thanks! Some else I'm hearing/reading about: "Degreeing the cam". This appears to be very complicated. Any tips? Is this for street motors or just racing engines? I would think timing has to be exactly dead on in race engines...but not as much as in a street motor?
Not really complicated to degree a cam, just need some specific tools.
Although you don't want to scratch the cam bearings, it's not a big deal unless you really seriously gouge one. Most big blocks have the cam bearings "sized" after installing them by running an old cam with slotted bearing journals to shave the bearings to size.
