![]() If it won't stay running when adjusted +/- 1 degree, something else is wrong. The "correct" way to time it actually had my cam gear arrows further apart and it visually looked like they were further off, but was actually correct based on the 2 holes in the cam. Lastly.and I think I know your answer before I ask it, but are you sure your engine is timed right? Did you use the 2 holes in the cams to verify they're straight up? I timed my engine off a tooth on the intake cam when I put my cams in and it ran like garbage. Might have given up a couple horses up top, but it was very worth it. ![]() To increase LSA, you want to advance the exhaust cam and retard the intake cam.īefore doing that, the car was really bucky and very sensitive to small throttle inputs at low RPM (1000-1700 or so). Something that helped my 2.4 run better at low RPM was separating the cams and giving them less overlap (that would be an INCREASE in lobe separation angle, LSA), it may not work as well on a 2.0 since longer stroke engines prefer less overlap, but you can give it a try. I would try everything 2 cam degrees at a time, any less than that will be hardly noticeable. Try playing with the intake cam first, it plays a much bigger role in how your engine runs.ĭoes it run better at high rpm or low rpm? If it's running rough at low RPM but pulls significantly harder at high RPM, I would try advancing the cam that will boost low end power and smooth the power band out.
