Something interesting he
said. Many of the aftermarket camshafts are not all that accurate in valve
timing and that is why he sells one now for the GMC motorhome. I will be
interested in knowing if there is any performance increase with yours.

Here we go again.The more I hear about this Mondello The farther down the
list he goes.
Nowhere in his advise did he say anything about degreeing in the cam but he
is worried about the accuracy of the other cam grinders. Might I suggest
that anyone who is interested look in your local phone book under cam
grinders, talk to them, maybe even go down and watch them grind a cam. It is
truly fascinating.
This is a quote from http://camcraftcams.com/
. "There can easily be 4 or even 6 degree variations in different brands of
timing sets. Proper valve timing quickly becomes a crap shoot without a
degree wheel. Published valve timing is only a suggested starting point
based on dyno testing and track experience. If you don't know where your
valve timing is then the cam grinder or engine builder cannot recommend
changes to help you get the most out of your engine."
As you can see from this statement installing a cam can be critical if you
are on the top end of 500hp. Down here where we are a couple degrees one way
or another is no big deal. go to Heinz's site and look at the amount of play
in his timing chain. It still ran good. This variation of 4 or even 6
degrees explains why some engines run stronger than others. We don't always
make mistakes to the bad side. Sometimes it goes our way. Once had a 327
chev engine that would clean everyone's clock. Box stock. Never touched it.
All the mistakes were in my favor. And that is the secret to building a
strong engine. Make sure all the mistakes are in your favor.
