Default Re: General LT-1 Information

I'm picking up the heads tonight, no 'cheatin' done to them, just getting them relooked at while I had the engine down for the cam swap.

I originally installed a Comp Cams with a little more lift, and a little less duration, but with a lot less 'overlap' in an effort to increase cylinder pressure and therefore bottom end torque. After learning a little more about cams from Pete, Rob and others, I realized that this cam was not what I really wanted, and that the stock cam is the best. So, I tore it down, and found some other issues to straighten out, (like a little valve cover oil leak, cracked oil sending switch, etc...) but now am in the rebuilding stage.

Anyone want to suggest the easiest way to degree a cam, without buying the whole degree kit?
