Degreeing a cam isn't overly complicated, but does involve EXACT precision, like most other things involved with engine building.
I didn't bother reading all the info above, but folks doing should should make sure that determining ICL is NOT the same as finding the degrees BTDC of the #1 intake lobe at .050" tappet lift. Here I do both, ICL first, then degrees BTDC to verify the work and how accurately the cam is ground. In theory if you nail down ICL then the intake open point @ .050" should be where the cam card is telling us.
PS: I probably would have read more of the info, but I've been busy devoting the last few days to pulling down every engine I own and turning at least 7 of the 8 rods around so the pistons face the WRONG direction!..........
