14. Now move the dial indicator to the Exhaust cam and repeat steps 8
through 13. When completed with both cams on Cylinder 1,
reposition the dial indicator on the Intake Cam of Cylinder 6
repeating steps 8 through 13 for the intake and exhaust cams.
In the event that your camshafts did not degree in as per the
manufacturer’s specs, it will be necessary to either advance (move the
cam ahead) or retard (move the cam back) the cam to meet the
suggested intake centerline.
Note: When degreeing a cam, remember to look at the degree
wheel as a full 360˚, no matter how the degree wheel you are using
is marked. Many degree wheels are marked in 90° or 180°
increments. On wheels that are marked in 90° increments, keep in
mind that you must continue to count the number of degrees on
past 90°. Be sure all readings are taken from Top Dead Center.
Common Mistakes
Note: To prevent broken or damaged valve train components, please read and follow these instructions
completely.
 COMP Cams ®
strongly recommends
replacing valve springs on any engine
with 60,000 miles or more. Stock
(OEM) springs may be retained in our
NSR (No Spring Required)
Camshafts.
 If you do not use enough seat pressure,
valve float will occur, causing damage
to the entire valve train and the engine
will not turn high enough RPM. If the
open spring pressure is excessive,
worn lobes will be the result. Please
refer to your camshaft spec card or
COMP Cams
® Master Reference Catalog to determine the valve spring needed for your application.
 Always use plenty of cam lube on the lobes.
 Never continue cranking the engine if it doesn’t start immediately.
