    timing

    hi all just a quick question i have some cams as discussed before and as i bought them second hand i do not know what degrees the lobes are so me and my mechanic were struggling how to figure out how to time the engine up. Can it be done without knowing the specs of the cams any help would be very helpful.

    p.s i have e-mailed dahlback and have heard nothing back.



    cheers rich.

            Dont forget to set the car to TDC and check the flywheel marks through the gearbox peep hole.
