Well figured I’d update this, now that I’ve actually made some progress.. lol.. so turned out once I moved cam gears dot to dot a redegreed the cam it put my intake at 112 centerline but compression...
Soooo... last night I got to the gears, I set them dot to dot, installed checker springs for piston to valve etc and that was as far as I got. Tonight I threw on degree wheel and found true tdc with...

Thanks guys, I have 60lb semans deka injectors per ryan and definitely have good grounds, I have additionals added and ground the block to bare metal and put dielectric grease on the ground points to...
There’s only one spot for the cam gear but 9 on the crank gear. When I was rebuilding the engine I installed it how I took it apart and then degreed cam and it showed a 114 centerline, rotated crank...

Huh, thought there was a bigger difference between the throttle bodies, good info on the crank pulley thing too, I don’t even have a stock one laying around anymore to measure and the one currently...
What’s up with the small cam and throttle body? Have the same cam and ditching it as soon as I go forced induction, just too small for a 408 imo, sane with the 53mm, I think you’d want at least a...
I understand the pulling recommended timing and rechecking to add more in but.. how do you know by reading the plugs you can add more back in? Are you looking at the timing line on the ground strap...
typically the rev limiter will be raised too, you could pull it down to manual low and do a burnout and see when it kicks in hahaha... I know you said your tach doesn't work tho but maybe you have...
both trucks sound awesome like they would be a good time, to bad I don't have 4-7k sitting around, gotta be worth that each, definitely priced right.. glws
i guess I don't really feel that way.. don't get me wrong, you KNOW it when the second blades open, but if I'm at 3/4 throttle and then push it further it accelerates harder... and I think that at...

So from a guy with experience let me axe you a question... do they come back off? or if they do, do they damage the surface underneath?
As previously stated they do fit over 1.7 rockers no problems... I can now say they fit and I've actually done it myself lol

Hey, at least you painted them black... I hate seeing copper or other types of pipe in auto repair work but since they are black it looks ok, if you leave them copper colored it just looks hacked,...
