Checking Valvetrain Geometry Here's a tip that I read in "How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s" by Will Handzel:
"When swapping camshaft, always check the valvetrain geometry by putting the lobe at 50% lift and visually inspecting whether the rocker tip is in the middle of the valvestem. Also, at max lift the rocker tip should not be off the tip of the valve"
My question is, how do I set the lift to 50% ( I already purchased a cam degree kit with a micrometer) Will that be enough to do it ?
Thanks !
