Printable Degree Wheel

Record Your Degree Wheel Reading.

This effect is sometimes referred to as piston dwell. Record your degree wheel reading. To adjust the degree wheel, rotate the until the #1 piston is at tdc. Begin by rotating the crank in the normal direction of rotation until the lifter moves up.050.

Now we are ready to check the opening and closing points on #1 intake lobe. I believe that you are pretty knowledgeable about cams and camshaft timing so i wanted to ask you if there is a way to verify the camshaft and crankshaft timing without having to remove the front cover and other parts of the engine (the engine in question is a running engine. Move the pointer or degree wheel so that the reading is at zero degrees. Continue in the same direction through maximum lift until you are.050 before the indicator returns to 0.

Piston Movement Slows Down Significantly Near Tdc.

Near the top, a degree or two of crankshaft rotation makes very little measurable difference. If you plan on graphing the lift vs cam lobe rotation per degree of rotation, you can safely ignore, totally the lifter seat being held up on a running engine, when your using a lifter and push rod too move, and verify a dial indicator reading, (keep in mind the cam rotates at 1/2 the crank rotation speed.) A simple dial indicator fixture, on a push rod tip after removing the rockers from the number 1 cylinder, and a degree wheel on the crank hub,and a piece of graph paper and your time to graph out the lift vs degree of rotation, would give accurate info, that is going to be a whole lot less work and gives you facts vs guessing at the answer
