"Ok i got the new camshaft installed everything is all setup the way it should be . i didnt centre the lobes or what ever. a friend of mine is saying is My gear Drive? and i need to get a chain? is that the problem? i dont even hear the CAm When it fires up he said . the Gear Drive has Slack So it is setting it off 2 Degreees. does that make a diff? let me know"

There will be a small amount of slack in any cam drive system due to manufacturing tolerances and to allow for thermal expansion of the parts. There's nothing wrong with running a gear drive if it's set up properly. As a matter of fact, it will run longer without retarding the cam timing than a chain will because gears don't stretch like a chain. Most guys will run a gear drive for the noise because it's sounds like a blower belt and wows the geeks at the drive-in. There's also nothing wrong with running a chain, millions of them are in service at this very moment. You asked "is that the problem?" What problem are you talking about? You also said that you don't hear the cam on start-up. Do you mean that the motor doesn't lope? It probably won't lope with a 110 degree LDA. If you want lope, install a cam with 106 or 104 degree LDA.

" A Friend said i dont have to Degree the cam. i got a 110 centre Lobe. will that make the car Run like Shit. i dont even here the Hear the cam when is Running its Running ruff. does that mean i have to Degree the cam?"

You friend is right, you don't have to degree the cam. Again, millions of motors are in operation all over the world with cams that were not degreed-in.

Degreeing a cam is done for two reasons:
1. Quality assurance. How do you know that all the lobes have been ground at the proper position relative to each other and relative to the crank position? What if the cam grinder was having a bad day (hung-over on Monday) or the CNC computer developed a glich when it was grinding your cam and ground the intakes off the exhaust master or vice-versa.

2. Establishing a baseline. If you're going to maximize your cam timing in this motor, you need to know where you're starting from before you go advancing or retarding the cam so you can keep records of valve timing events and the results of your changes.

If you don't plan to make any changes after the motor is running, put the cam in on the factory timing marks and hope for the best.
