Adj cam gear questions (just to be sure)

[bbenny]

A quick question to anyone reading this with adj cam gears (OS Giken in particular) how many degrees is each index mark on the slider?

ie. 1 point (index) = 2degres???????

oh and a dummy one to make sure, turning anti-clockwise on the adjustments is retarding while clockwise is advancing? - just to be sure!

Cheers!

Depends.. the HKS has it all clearly marked, and which is retard and which is advance. And each mark is 2deg crank (which it has printed on it). Nice and easy.

If it is the same as the HKS, slide the adjuster counterclockwise to retard, and clockwise to advance.

Hehehe, that's a trick question.......

Both cams turn clockwise, so if you move the camshaft itself more clockwise, things will happen sooner, which is advanced.

BUT to do that, you have to move the gear on the end of the cam anticlockwise with respect to the cam. Hope that makes sense.
