Last question on timing, did a search no luck
 
Well i was trying to finish the cam timing tonight but ran into a small snag. According to Wayne's book my brother's 911T uses a high lift cam sequence to time the cam (even though it is a CIS motor). I came to this conclusion due to the 2.6mm of overlap the cams are spec'd for.

According to Wayne's sequence i am to torque down the cam bolt to its 110ftlb value but that is a PITA MAN! What is the point of this? Would it be acceptable to torque it to like 60lftlbs or so and then do the timing?

Only reason i ask is because i am having a hard time keeping the cam from moving as i am tightening the cam bolt and yes i do have the tool to hold the cam

Thanks

Jim

The setting will change when you tighten the bolt/nut. Tighten it some (say 60 ft lbs) as you go along (moving the pin) and when you arrive at the setting you want, torque to spec and recheck it.

Sorry I can't get out to the garage to take a picture. There's been a wigged out blue jay in my garage all day who's too stupid to fly out. When I go out there he gets all stressed like he's overheating. Maybe it's really a Blonde Jay. :D

EDIT: Ooops wrong post.
