I just got my new cams from schneider installed and dialed in. Last time I did this I thought my cams were way off until it was brought to my attention that on the cam card it says "-5* BTDC" I though that meant they start to open at 5* before TDC. Oops, it meant 5* AFTER TDC. Well this time around I got the largest cam that schneider offers. Cam card says "intake opens -3* BTDC" This time around I know that means 3* after TDC. So I have both cams set to open at 3*ATDC. NOW, they are supposed to close at 45* ABDC according to cam card. Driver side cam closes at 41*ABDC. Ok thats not TOO bad
. But the passenger side cam closes at 36* ABDC. Now thats 9* from what it is supposed to be. :? I cant think of anything I could have done wrong this time around.
0* on degree wheel equals TDC. 180* on wheel equals BDC. cams open at 3* mark atdc. cam closes at 144* mark ABDC. 45* after BDC would be 135* right???? Thats 9* missing right? Or am I smoking crack or somthing. I jumped to conclusions that it was Schneiders fault last time and ended up being wrong. But I dont see what I could be doing wrong this time cause I am aware of how the cam card works now. 222* of durration is what I am supposed to have but I only have 213* WTF am I doing wrong?!
ops:
Things I am 100% sure I am doing. NOT measuring off of the top of the lifter (measuring off of the lifter BODY ONLY)
Have the timing gears correct. 40 teeth between each dot on cam gears.(even so that wouldnt effect the durration if I am measuring when it opens to when it closes.)
Degree wheel is NOT moving seperate from crank.
Dial indicator is NOT sticking.
