[QUOTE="racebronco2, post: 12500811, member: 11854"] You never needed to because you are taught to r-r. But to get the cam timing where it is at the stock locations you will need to degree them. People degree the cams to get equal power out of each side of the engine. Stock is not degreed but it's supposed to be at 114 intake and exhaust. Even with a new engine they are off. If the shop charges enough it's profitable but most customers don't want to pay the 300.00 or so to get them degreed correctly. I don't grind on the sprockets, i grind away on the cam keyways. The metal is much softer and easier to get to. I have removed so many engines from Lincoln Mark VIII's you guys would not believe me. Like na svt said most of them do not have the keyways. Were both sides the same? I agree. I'm not sure whom told you that the exhaust is where it is at on these engine but according to John Mihovetz it really doesn't make much of a difference where you set the exhaust cams at. In case you din;t know whom he is, he is the leading authority on 4.6's. John told me the intake is where the power is at. The earlier you open the intakes the better, within reason of course. They really don't know what they are talking about and i would stay away from them. If they do degree the cams they probably will not be where you want them anyways. [/QUOTE]
