With cam timing "corrected", it's time to do a rough setting on ignition timing.

Set the crank pulley to 10 degrees, and set the distributor to #1



At the same time the TPS was set so it should start and idle. With the new cams, and new pistons/rings, my client will want to keep initial start up/break in to about 2000 rpm for about 10 minutes....



The assembled engine... (the fine print: 10.6:1, 244/212 8mm lift - set to 111 centers, HKS valve springs, ported head, light weight wrist pins, fully balanced)




As to the cam covers.... in the end this took the most amount of my time... they took a professional painter nearly 6 weeks doing them multiple times and they still are less then perfect
