So that set up in the photo is with the lob center at absolute 0? You have perfect 0 from going through the degree process?
That is the red older cam adjuster from LC (I think).
I have the newer black one. The black one is set up from LC to be in the exact spot as the stock dual row gear.
I talked with a couple of 22R engine builder guys who told me if you line up the dowel with the arrow on the rocker arm assembly you are pretty much in there. Not sure about that but it makes sense relative to the tensioner retarding or advancing the cam due to block and head shaving.
I really don't want to have to buy that damn degreeing kit. That thing is not cheap and I can only imagine the headache it is to get it perfect.
If you have the degree kit would you rent it out
