Title: Adjusting the Cam Gear.
Post by: BimmersRhot on February 04, 2009, 12:57:55 PM

Does anyone know how to adjust the Cam gears on the M42? I know now that they come with an adjustble cam gear from the factory and i need to know how to adjust it. I was told to advance the intake cam 6 Degrees. If anyone has some input or a manual on how to do it, it would be appreciated. Thanks

Loosen all of the bolts on the intake cam and rotate it.  6 degrees is max
