    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1150 cams in a 1100

I totally understand what you are saying. I strive for perfection, within limitations, on everything I do. I am an aircraft mechanic by trade, I accept nothing but the highest level of success in my job.

The pointer I used is exactly the same width of the degree markings, if you are not looking at it perfectly straight when you take the reading you will see the side of the pointer and not just the front, so you know you are not reading it correctly. Looking straight on you will just see the front and no sides of the pointer, make sense?

For me, it was the best that could be done at the present time. I am sure I will improve my technique on the next one, I will look over your thread again and see how I can use it to improve, multiple ideas are always better than just one idea as long as they are looked at in an unbiased manner.

Sighting down the wire is the key. The old pros probably just take for granted but anybody doing this for the first time would not realize .
 
cam makers have said up to 4 degrees before noticing a noticeable change

If you are going 110/110 you probably don't want to mistakenly go 114/114.

Stock motors probably have +/- 4 degrees of slope (2 degree 1 sigma)

Back in 1980-81 they also have noticeable 1/4 mile ET's on 1100E's due to manufacturing tolerances on valve jobs.
