Howdy all,
I am fixin to install my STOCK cam back into my 5.9 engine I am building. This is part of the Rebuild a 5.9 on the Cheap thread. That is the reason I am not installing a aftermarket cam at this point. I just don't have the funds right now and really want to get my Jeep back on the road.

So while I am at it is there any reason to install the cam advanced or retarded? I am using heads from Clearwater Heads w/2.02 intake and 1.62 exhaust & 62cc combustion chambers which is going to bump my compression ratio a little. I bought a Comp Cam timing chain set with 3 key ways. -4* 0* +4* So should I leave it at 0* or?

Oops forgot to add that I am using Harland Sharp 1.7:1 Roller Rockers also.

Thanks

 

Leave it at 0. No reason to advance or retard it.

 

X2. From what Ive read, any advantage to either advance or retard will not be noticable. Just set it at 0*.
