I totally understand wanting to verify and check but you’d think that a custom cam that you had ground for your application is going to be on the money or running a basic off the shelf cam dot to dot would be good too.

What I’m questioning is that since offset keys and things to dial the cam in aren’t readily available how is it that degreeing a cam has become such an essential check, in other words what do you do when it’s off a few degrees? What’s the remedy? Doesn’t seem like you have a lot of options and I’d imagine if it was such a big the deal the aftermarket who is dying to take your money would offer a solution that to my knowledge doesn’t really exist on a Pontiac, so again my question remains, how much of a big deal is it in actual use vs internet stories?

Doesn’t matter, I’ll be doing mine and spending the $150 for a tool I’ll hardly ever use again just to verify but it’s almost pointless without the ability to use offset keys that aren’t readily available if at all. Sometimes I think we just blow these things up in our heads to become bigger issues than they actually are.
