3. Dialing in of the cam is a technical term that refers to the positioning of the cam lobe in relation to crank angle and or piston position.
In essence the fitting of the camshaft IAW the approved data is dialing in. Yes a dial gauge and protractor are used.


Continental engine, after instrument check and harness check, d
Fuel flow check and ensuring baffles etc were in good order, DDI check revealed about three tooth out.
Signs of a problem are not a symptom.
