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 face the WRONG direction!..........

You are a fast learner Cliff. I called my machinist and requested the same work be done on my junk and he hung up on me. Maybe Mike can provide the racer guy who built his engine as he clearly knows what he is doing...
These threads seesaw back and forth from asking for help to trying to alter reality. Really drags things out but I am more to blame for keeping reading these type of threads. Seems like we have multiple Zcode400s on the forums these days.
