I had between 1mm to 1.5 didnt have a measuring tool with me but i was more concerned about having valve clearance than how much at that stage due to the head being skimmed to its last notch.
Had a look at both welsh pug's links to complicated for me dont have the gauges and not willing to get them and get it wroung unless its a last resort and then id rather pay some engine tuner to do it for me.
Im going to invent my own method into doing the cam timing by setting up both cam pullys and bottom engine pully with the pins in them and then attaching a protractor to the inlet cam pully with the pin in where the pin sits in the cam pully i will have my degrees at 0 that will be at 12 oclock on a clockface then i will turn the cam pully by 2 degrees clockwise untill i have valve to piston contact ill note that figure down say that was at 8 degrees which will tell me that we can all dependant on cam selection and how much the heads been skimmed know how much we can advance out cams by.Dont know whether the above methods feasable or not due to myself not being to clued up on cam timing or engines if it is feasable its got to be a good method. The setting up of the protractor would have to be done by a laser to get true 12 oclock/zero degrees
Your thoughts on the above please
