Just seeing what all has to be done, and what the benefits are.

I just have a little 01 Z06 cam in a 5.3 and was told I shouldn't have to degree it.

truth?

Its in the truck, and runs fine...just needs to be tuned a little.

 

I'm interested in the 'degreeing'... Have 240 I don't want so big haha

 

you can't do it unless you have an adjustable timing set

 

read this.. very good write up on whats involved and how to do it...

but yea you can check it all you want.. but without the adjustable timing set you cant change it...

 

Degreeing a cam is mostly a "yeah its right" thing. I've done 3 or 4 over the years and haven't found one ground wrong. Do they offer offset inserts for the cam gear to advance/retard it with the lsx style engines?
