ok so i was reading around and saw something about advancing my cam timing i was just wondering if some one could give me some more info on what it does and if its woth it ?

 

Advancing cam timing will give more top end power. Retarding will give more bottem end power. Doing either with out a degree wheel while building a motor can cause horrible engine damage...

 

Eaglemark has it back wards, adv. the cam boasts low end, retarding it helps top end.
You can get away w/ 4 degrees either way, unless you have a wild cam.
A a timing chain wears, it stretches, it retards the cam.
On a street motor, I'd go w/ a fresh timing set & advance it 2*.

 

ya eaglemark was backwards. Advancing will drive the powerband down and vice versa.

It's not worth it for a stock cam

 

I guess age is showing again, dam I hate when I do that...

 

ya otta seen some of the goofy stuff I've posted...

 

yeah but by the picture in your avatar your oltimers could be disaterous...
