New camshafts are installed and timed. The timing card for the K45 cams specifies 0.050" lift with 0.000" valve lash at 24 degrees BTDC on the overlapping stroke - no tolerance was given, so I figured if I ended up +/- 0.5 degrees that would good enough given the play between the camshaft sprocket, the camshaft flange and the dowel pin. When I adjust the crankshaft position and the camshaft lift both values are exactly 0.050" @ 24 degrees BTDC, but after the cam bolt is torqued down the values always shift a bit for me.
My crankshaft digital degree wheel is mounted on the flywheel flange of the crankshaft so when the crankshaft is rotated clockwise as seen from the front of the engine, the digital degree wheel rotates counter clockwise hence the negative numbers.
-336.5 degrees = 23.5 degrees BTDC
-335.4 degrees = 24.6 degrees BTDC
