Thanks for your help fellas.
Building up the short block and working on degree'ing the cam. A brand new ClaySmith 274H 110*. My intention was to advance 2* but decided to initially install/degree with no advance to see where we're at.
I used a piston stop and am very confident in TDC verified by dial gauge. Using the centerline method described here ci/CamDegree.html and always rotating forward I have confirmed multiple times 107.5*. I even pulled it all off and reset TDC and am still coming up 156+59/2=107.5*.
My confusion/question, I thought this method(on a straight up cam) would be the same as the lobe center(110) and while I understand these cams can be off, is 2.5* in the usual margin of error? And if so and I was looking for 2* advance(108*), should/could I just leave well enough alone and see how it runs?
Cheers!
