For the cam phasing, might be quicker to get an idea if you can measure the intake and exhaust tappet rise at TDC.

At 106 intake centerline the Voodoo 704 intake tappet should have .085

From Harold B.
Quote:
The intake lifter should be about .030" higher than the exhaust, with an OK range being .025" to .040". If the intake is anywhere in this range, your engine will run good. If the exhaust valve is the same height or higher than the intake, the cam needs to be advanced, either by a bushing, or even by advancing a whole tooth. It just depends how far off it is. And this does not mean the cam was ground wrong, but that all the clearances involved have stacked up the wrong way. As long as you get the intake lobe in the 'sweet zone', the engine will work as promised..
