Degreeing a camshaft
By Royce Peterson - 06/24/2003 8:00:05 AM; IP 171.75.108.91
The reason for degreeing a camshaft is to verify you have the cam installed as the cam manufacturer intends. It is not entirely necessary if you trust the cam manufacturer's work.

It becomes necessary if you are not happy with the way a cam operates and you decide to change the relationship between camshaft and engine.

Much more important than degreeing a cam is checking piston to valve clearance. This is done to prvent damage.
