Is Ted's S2 cam keyed properly to the stock Cam gear? I'm not looking to race, so splitting hairs for that last 1000th of an HP isn't something I was intending to put on the ole' to do list.
Now you guys have me sweating cam-timing before I even put the new "mains" in! (More nightmares - lol).
Same philosophy was going to apply to the push rods. Although I might get slightly longer rods from Ted to make up for the grind, I'm hoping he'll tell me to just take up the slack with the set screw and be done with it. I'm certainly not planning to use any exotic metal(s) in the push rods. (Nuts! - More nightmares!)
LUV this stuff,

: I found true TDC and set my degree

: the LCA for the S2 cam I have. Then I
: turned the cam by hand until I found
: the max lift on tappet #2 (intake for

: and camshaft sprocket. To check this I
: turned the engine in reverse PAST TDC,
: then advanced towards 110 degrees and
: confirmed I still had max lift on
: tappet 2 at that point.
