Cam degreeing - aem gears/kelford cams

[kristoph]

Good Evening Friends,


I just got my head cylinder back from the machine shop. I had them assemble my head with kiggly HP valve springs, kelford 272 cams and aem adjustable gears.

This is my very first engine build and I just want to be extra cautious. Does this look right to you. the gears clearly are not properly aligned, but being adjustable I guess the point is to set them once the timing is set?

I guess my question is, does the installation of the cams and gears appear to be correct ? two intake valves are open is this normal ?

I am assuming my next step is to install the test springs, and solid lifters, adjust for zero lash and set timing ? I had them assemble the head, despite the fact I would be taking it apart again to install the test springs because I wanted to look and learn how the cams are to be installed.

please advice.


Kris

@Paintballaa5 not sure if the pic is deceiving but your exhaust cam looks to be out 3 teeth or so.

There's no tension on the belt at all. This was just mockup before I set them where they needed to be. Figured he could use a visual.

Good eye though

Sure it was.
