I'm a little rusty at cam degreeing, but initial indications show I may have gotten lucky here. It was a little too easy so I'm skeptical.

Found top dead center on #1 using a dial indicator, and the degree wheel. Put a lifter in and a pushrod on the #1 intake lifter and set up the dial indicator.

Next, I centered up the cam on the apex of the lift. Since it's a roller, it dwells a little bit, so I used the same method you use to find TDC to find the exact top of the cam. This actually put the pointer at 110 on the degree wheel (makes sense as it's the same process as below, just with less distance), so either my measurement is really good or I flubbed a step. Rolling it forward .020 came out to 80 degrees, going back .020 came out to 140. 80+140 = 220. 220/2 = 110, which is the ICL the cam is ground on.

110 degrees came up too many times too easily for me to feel like I did this right. Did I miss something or am I good to go? This felt harder to do last time I did it, but I did it in the car with the head installed.
