Cam Timing

We spent an interesting morning making sure that the cams were timed correctly.
Reading Des Hammill's excellent book on "How to power tune Jaguar XK engines," we followed the advice given. That is to say, the damper was carefully marked with "Full Lift" marks for both inlet and exhaust. The usual Jaguar cam timing tool surprisingly served only as a rough guide and we used a Dial Indicator on the cam buckets to get exact timing at these full lift points.
