Title: M42 Cam timing?
Post by: Casey Belarde on September 01, 2016, 02:16:24 PM

We are building my sons M42 engine, fresh seals, t-chain guides and etc..
I noticed last night the cam gears are adjustable. I have the cams positioned right, where should I lock the cams at?
engine is all stock , plans for a turbo in spring
Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
Thanks
