I have an Nmotion double roller timing chain with the advance ground on the sprocket. I'm doing a cam/heads swap and was wondering where I should have the timing mark at on the lower sprocket (the one on the crank)? Should I leave it stock '0' or raise it (+2, +4, etc.) to another setting? What would the effects be one way over the other? Any help would be appreciated.

put it on 0, then degree cam, and then adavance or retard if needed.

I am using a G5X3 and there was no cam card with it. I bought this cam new. I don't know much about degreeing a cam other than what I've read, but don't I need the card in order to degree the cam?

was it ground on a 112 or 114LSA?

I'll have to look through my paperwork, but I believe I have 114.

well IMO, depending on where it dergrees in at, i would put the crank gear on +4, that's if ICL comes in at 114.(really should go by IVO, not ICL, but no cam card, so) The reason I say this, is because i think LG grinds are the stuff straight up, with no advance ground into them.

Ok....it is a 112 LSA. I take it I should put the chain and timing gear on set to 0 and then proceed to degree the cam correct?

do it twice, just to make sure it repeats the same number,and spend the time to verify TDC perfectly. good luck man.
