quick question. i'm new to playing with degree wheels and looking at cam events.
should my intake valve start opening as soon as 46* BTDC?
im basically measuring by having my dial indicator on top of the pushrod while on the base circle and rotating the engine clockwise until i see that dial indicator move. i always thought that the intake valve doesnt open until the piston passes TDC.

No that is using the advertised duration at .006
Your going to want a minimum clearance .040 and even then your not safe if there is any slack in your timing set. Should be safe at .060 but you really wanna see .080
Take the advance out of the cam and check... fly cutting the pistons is going to be your best solution.

If you have an adjustable set, you could try advancing the cam to give some of that intake clearance to the exhaust side (so to speak).
