So..... I am confused!!!! Is it possible to remove a cam on the B series
engine without removing the oil pan and pump? I've just changed my cam and my
shop manual indicated that the pan and pump had to be removed.
Last evening I was timing in my new cam and all of my measurements were close
except the valve closing degrees. The specs for the cam are as follows ;
inlet full opening 110, intake and exhaust 24-64/59-29. My measurements taken
at the top of the #1 intake and exhaust valve cap were; inlet full opening
108.5 ; valve timing 24-68/59-42. The closing degrees for both valves are off
, especially the exhaust valve. I have the valve clearance set to .015 cold.
Am I missing something here? Would the measurements be different with the
engine running? Possibly flex in the valve train? Any help or suggestions
would be appreciated.
TIA
John
