Does anyone have a online guide that shows you how to build a Ford Mod motor and how to time a 3V cam??

After reading that, building a motor doesnt sound so hard. I do still have some questions though.

Do I have to degree cams that are NSR? Do I have to degree SPR cams? If so, how?

Technically, you don't have to degree any of them.....

BUT, I would recommend degreeing them for the most optimal performance out of the cams....Most people just marke the chains, yada yada, and put the cams in...since you are going to be building your motor, then I wouldn't see why you wouldn't want to degree them....that way you get all your performance, plus, you can also check piston-to-valve clearance's more accurately...

I have/did not degree my cams. The way these things are setup im not sure you will benefit. As long as the shop that made your cams put the notch in the correct spot where the phaser sprocket mounts then I see no worries. My chains from factory are setup with a black link and it made it very simple to line everything up, I was suprised. Was holding off to see if others had different opinions on this and im sure they do....

So building a 3V isnt too hard? I figured degreeing the cams if needed would be the most difficult.

Builders please chime in! The more info the better!

So you want builders to tell you that it is easy to build a 3V which would then keep you from paying them to do something they get paid to do in the first place.........


Fuckin' internet anyway..........................

Here is a link about degreeing them, figured this was quicker than trying to type it all out. You will find out almost everyone doesn't degree cams on the 3 valves due to the cam gears.

No, I figured it was a lot more difficult. But after reading the pdf, it doesn't seem so bad. So I thought mabye there was something I was missing. Thats why I asked if it was "easy" to build a 3V.
