Cam timing with hydraulic tappets ?
Hello everybody,
Is it possible to accurately measure a rover V8 cam timing (IO IC EO EC, maximum lift, etc) knowing the fact that the engine is on hydraulic tappets ? Many thanks for you expertise, Pierre |

Hello and welcome.
Are you trying to find the specification of your cam? To measure the cam, one has to remove a lifter and put a measuring rod down the lifter bore. As you imply, one cannot measure with no pressure in the lifters. Here is a readymade setup to do the job [pitstopusa.com] Ivor |
