How much does combined decking and head milling effect cam timing? This link seems to say that .025 off would retard the cam or cams 1 degree. Would the effect be constituent for a single cam motor vs duel cam? As the angle of the belts or chains are different.
4G63 Camshaft Degreeing

"This is the before and after shot of the Eclipse cam gears alignment. The cam gears advanced 1 crank degree with the true TDC and the cam gears no longer line up perfectly. I was expecting it to be retarded since the head and block have been shaved. 1 crank degree advanced would roughly mean .025" taller deck height, which may be accountable d/t the stock vs MLS gasket thickness difference but what about the resurface job?."

I am actually working on a single cam g54b 2.6

Thanks
