My Cloyes timing set arrives today, so I'm taking the day off tomorrow to install it. Am I correct in assuming that because it's a non-adjustable gear set up, that degreeing it would be a waste of time? If not, why would I degree it if I can't adjust anything?
I have the factory Ford manual on DVD and the FRPP install instructions that I'm planning on using. I know you don't want to turn the cam or the crank with the gears/chain off, but at the end of the day am I right in assuming:
1. You put the keyed cam gears on only one way besides inside out.
2. You can only put the keyed crank gear on one way besides inside out.
3. If you have the chain and gears marked for timing, that as long as you get them lined up before you turn it over that all is good?
4. I'll lube the cam, gears and tensioners with the same oil that I have in the crank case. No assembly lube like I use to rebuild engines right?
I plan on turning it over by hand when I'm finished so I can tell if there are any PTV issues.
Thanks for any comments.
