It's the MOST IMPORTANT attachment for mounting the gauge on top of the rocker. br>br>The slackened crank socket moves three times its normal position. Each time it was 4 degrees, and this was on a 350sbc, of all things! There isn't a single picture in the instructions, which is shocking. Half of the items have annoying allen set screws of various sizes, but there isn't a single allen in the box - br>br>To get it to go through the lathe, I turned the larger arm down. I'm not sure what I just padded $200 for. This tool has never been used by a posh kid in a CAD program. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. br>Instructions are a waste of time (not that I care - It may appear to be simple, but is it? )br>However, the crank socket continues to move- br>Fiddly bits that don't have a descriptionbr>br>Pros: br>Nice casebr>Gauge worksbr>Looks gleamingbr>Free stickerbr>.
This kit is for checking cam timing and lift with the heads removed from the engine, as described. It works well once you figure it out and comes with everything you need to install it on a SB Mopar engine, which I used on an 03 Dodge 5. As someone who has never used a 9L Magnum engine, my only complaint is that the instructions do not explain how to use this particular tool. In my case, the included instructions explained how to use the other kit (checking valve spring lift while the heads are still attached to the engine). To figure out how to install properly, I had to turn to YouTube and Google. This fixture is identical (if not made by) to the Proform kit 66830, which I discovered. The Comp Cams kit comes with a degree wheel and a crank turning adapter, in addition to the price difference.
The dial indicator was broken, and I couldn't get the small pointer at the end to unscrew so I could install the 5 inch extension. I had to use vice grips to hold the shaft and vice grips to remove the point, which then unscrewed, but it wouldn't let me screw in the 5 inch extension, which I bent in the process. The Dial indicator also lost its ability to "spring back" to zero during the removal of the bottom pointer. Comp cams were supposed to deliver a lot more.
Although this is the first and only degree wheel I've ever used, it appeared to be adequate. A slight bend/dent on the outside of the wheel caused no problems, and a few tick marks had worn off/weren't printed, possibly due to the dent, but this didn't bother me.
When I received the kit, it did not fit the crank snout, which was a major disappointment. When I asked questions of the seller (jegs), I received no response. I returned it and went straight to Comp to buy the new version. It does, however, include a professional socket.
The steel wheel is well-printed and thick. I was expecting it to be thinner because it wasn't made of aluminum and had a lot of stuff. I used it on a SBC, and the three holes line up perfectly with the threaded holes on the SBC balancer, so all you need are some spare bolts to put it together.
If I'm not mistaken, it's clockwise. Only used to find true TDC rather than degreeing a camshaft. br>br>Amazon packaged it in an absurd amount of packaging, with a 12"x8"x3" (roughly) box and tons of packing material.
This will not fit on a Ford FE. It's impossible to get it to center on the crankshaft. There are three holes for mounting it to a harmonic balancer, but none of them match any of my harmonic balancers, so I'll have to make a bushing to make it fit. It's a frisbee that costs $150.
