You shouldn't need to degree your Hot Cam. I don't see any significant benefits to doing so. I simply installed mine, aligned the dots on the cam sprocket, set the valves, etc. Runs like a champ!

its all keyed sorta. The sprockets will only go on one way. 6 oclock for the top 12 for the bottom. Bam your all set. Degreeing for the most parts just lets you confirm whats happening through the crankshaft revolution.
