    Cam timing

    I'm currently timing the cam, using a digital dti gauge. Some say to measure from inlet 7 some say 2, so i've tried them both and got 2 degrees difference. Why would it be different? I am correct thinking a bent pushrod or something could give different results, or are cams lobes not perfectly matched?

    Re: Cam timing

    Did you measure a matching peak opening, but over by 2° ?

    I would have thought a bent push rod would give a lower opening but the same ° for the peak opening. And less duration.
