Oh that O.G. Danny throwing a curve ball. The knowledge he shares is something one would get as his apprentice. You are very lucky he has the passion and patience to share it with you.
I am SO FULL OF GRATITUDE to have Danny in my life. I feel like his apprentice - I call him my mentor 🙂
Interesting! .....those chickens have the cutest personalities..they make me smile..
Thank you Danny!! I just love our little black cochin so much!! Her name is Abigail and she is so fluffy and so friendly!!
Being a perfectionist my be time consuming BUT it pays dividends in the end :) Good job Faye .
Young lady, I would have absolutely no problem buying anything you built. Keep up the great work honey
Thank you so much!!!!
Setting the dials reminds me of taking pictures of my 7m build. Clicking through the pictures makes the progress look easy. But what happened behind the scenes was several hours of painstaking work.
So true!!!
Not my phone full of random parts of my 5m build @-@
There are plenty of channels with hot wrench chicks working on cars and some of them are cool and legit but none of them have content as detailed as yours. This is everything they do but with professors level (HI Danny!) knowledge delivery and a personality that you can't drift away from! You're amazing and we need more humans like you and Danny. That's how we roll in SA Town!
Aww 🥲 thank you!! I appreciate that so much.
Definitely not trying to be "better than" anybody - the internet is a huge place with tons of room for all of us - just trying to occupy my little corner and tell my truth and share what I've learned. So grateful to everyone who watches and appreciates my content 🙏🏻
Hallelujah. I tried degreeing my 7M TRD CAMs as they didn't come with cam card when I got them by following similar procedures I saw with push rod engines. I wasn't confident in the results. Now I know what to do. Thanks Faye 😊
Oh my gosh awesome!!!
Wow! I'm glad V8s aren't overhead cam! Geeze! You're getting there Faye
There are some V8 w/ ohc 's ...
Lexus
..been there..
Good job!
Sad you had to back up & pull the cams again.
'Summit Racing' has been my "go to" store (..& now "online") forever practically.
"You have the power!"...
Hey Faye, that’s so cool when this engine build is done you’ll never be able to say I wished I would’ve done this or that which is super rare and awesome way to go Faye!!🐔🐔🐔👍
Exactly! I have one sticker on the car and it says "No regrets"- I'm trying to embody that every day
@@FayeHadley No regrets no surrender….
Alright! Finding top dead center on an engine I haven't played with YET! Let's go!
You got this!!👏🏻
Great video! I imagine it is easier to degree cams with a belt drive, i have only degreed cams on engines with timing chains. The PITA with chains is chain slop, so you have to only turn the crank clockwise. Can't go forward/backwards like you can with a belt. The way i do it:
1. Find TDC with piston stop on cyl #1, rotating engine clockwise until piston hits the stop, record number. Rotate engine counterclockwise until piston hits the stop, record number. Then position the degree wheel so that the numbers are the same in both directions. This should be TDC, verify.
2. Set up dial indicator on intake valve spring retainer cyl #1. Rotate engine until max lift is reached, zero the indicator. Then record the #s for .050" before, and .050" after max lift (just like you did) add the #s together and divide by 2, this should be your cam centerline. Repeat for exhaust cam(s)
I can appreciate how long it takes to properly set up the dial indicator(s), making sure the angle is correct, otherwise the readings will be off. All of this work will be well worth it to get the engine operating at max efficiency. Having adjustable can gears will make it easy to make any adjustments, you'll get it dialed in for sure!
I remember doing that decades ago with the original Minis. In the absence of affordable tuning following engine mods, what made practical sense was homebrew blueprinting on the 1275 engine. It was swapped in place of an 850cc, pulled out of an Austin America, as was the fashion. Starting with selective assembly and then with filing and stuffing in bits of feeler gauge, I ended up with the cam timed in to within half a degree of the spec. It was immensely satisfying since the factory tolerance was something like plus or minus 8!
Oh my gosh that's so badass!! That's something that Danny and I were talking about is how few people actually do this and it's so impressive to hear that you have, And gone beyond factory specifications!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@FayeHadley Aw, thank you. You're making me blush!
I'm so glad you're doing this... I was just thinking I need a piston stop for my 4age.
Really appreciate your videos, and you use cool words like dwell. I was just feeling salty that someone stole my timing light with a built in dwell meter.
Anyhow your awesome keep up the good work.
And you could totally build a piston stop yourself out of stuff you have laying around!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am so honored to hear that I've inspiried you on your 4AGE build!!! What an honor!!!😃😃😃
Well done. A fun, clear, and consice demo! Bravo.
Hey Faye, I just came across your channel and I think you ladies are doing a great job. I began teaching my daughter how to use tools since she was a little over 1yr old. I always said to her "Don't ever let anyone tell you, you can't do it because you're a girl". Keep up the great work.
Mick
Hmmm. Not an easy process unless one performs it every day. That black chicken is my favorite. Thanks Faye!
Her name is Abigail and she has by far the biggest personality and is our fluffiest!!! She's my favorite too ♥️♥️♥️
A beautiful thing, Faye Hadley!
I've worked on my fair share of cars, installed 100's of cambelts, but seeing a pro at work still makes me feel like an idiot. Great work on this build!!
Awww 😅 no no, not an idiot, I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two!! There's so much to learn in the automotive world, it's impossible to know it all!! But I do really appreciate the compliment!!!🥲
Faye , at this point you really show your knowledge and skill. ...great work
Thank you!!
Excellent show ! I hit the like button before starting to watch. It’s a no brainer 🤘🏼
Can’t wait to see the entire project done it’s going to be super good
I just degreed my B18C cams foe rh3 first time a couple weeks ago, one of my freind's dad showed me w trick that saves a lot of time and is still accurate enough. Set up the degree wheel as normal, find your max lift degrees on the cam card, turn the crank to that point (98° and 105° on my case) then loosen you adjistsble cam gears and turn the actual cam until you hit the highest lift on your dial indicator, tighten the cam gear and done. I did it both ways the first time and ended up in the exact same place, when I put my sleeved ramey block in over the winter i'll just use the cheat method
Thanks Faye for another awesome video 🐔🐓🐔🐤
Another informative vid, keep them coming! 👏🏼
Thanks Faye! Woof woof!!
You are definitely a Genius of your craft Faye 🔧 keep on loving it as you are learning it✌🏻
Good afternoon everyone hope everyone is having a blessed day
Well, heck, if things were easy and everything just worked right out of the box, you'd be bored! Besides, you know your viewers all enjoy watching how you work out solutions for every challenge.
Hello Faye very informative video Wishing you well Take Care
watched from Bryan,TX
Stay awesome faye
Another great video! You really make learning new things about car mechanics fun!
Thank you!! So glad you think so!
Oh man Faye very cool it looks like the useful tools are helping ya there
Thanks Faye
Tv magic is over rated
Keep it reel
😎👍🍺🇦🇺
Absolutely no shortcuts with Danny watching over your shoulder 😂
Respect! Can hardly wait for the third part.
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Nice work, just got my 5 speed and Mfactory limited slip differential in my 1995 Saturn S series last week so feels very sporty with all the other modifications i've done, swapped seats, and got the AC running.. Gonna do my A pilar coolant temp, boost vacuum, and air fuel ration glowshift gauges next and a set of 1200 watt kickers and an amp.
Hey faye, the struggle is real, I spent 2 years trying to make a set of bc264 cams in my 7m, degreed them in countless times but never got anything to match the cam card. Duration was less, lift was left, centre line was not in the middle of duration... did the best I could but the engine ran terribly, 8inch hg of vaccum at idle. Swapped back to factory cams and it works like it should. Hope you dont end up down the same rabbit hole I did.
We shall soon see!! 😬
I think at this point after watching all her videos I can build a car from scratch
The greatest compliment!!
This is a fun video. Thanks for doing this
Thank you so much!!
Thanks Faye have a good one:)
I enjoy watching your great videos Faye! I also watched the season premier of All Girls Garage with the new AC install, good stuff!
Heck yeah!! Thank you!
Oh the joy lol great video!
Great job..very impressive
Thanks TJ!!!
Very cool! We do a similar procedure for locomotive engines for crankshaft timing, however we have to find BDC in order to know TDC.
Thanks!
Love this girl❤
Sheeeesh, a normal person would have just lined the marks up 😂. Looking good man.
😂😂😂 You know we're not normal here Jeep guy!!
I know 😅
Cool
I have heard that setting up the cams on a Porsche 4 cam can take hours so take as long as you need cause you know what’s the end result is…..
And yes, you can “ dwell “ on that!
( Thought we didn’t catch that )
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you struggle to do it... We probably will too. ;)
awesome video, by the time you're done, it's gonna be a shame to hide such a beautiful piece of work under a hood,...😎
Haha I feel ya! I'll have to go to MANY SHOWS
@@FayeHadley awesome!! Hopefully a few will be in NC
Great video, Faye. I've done a cam degreeing on my Nissan truck with a NAAP Z engine. I had an adjustable gear, so I was able to dial it in right on the money. Looking forward the next chapter. Chickens rule!
Will Faye reconfigure her engine to support the new cams?
Will this build ever be finished?
Will the chickens at the end make another appearance in part 3?
Stay tuned for next week's episode of "Faye makes financially irresponsible decisions by getting into building racing engines"

Didn't Ron Popeil invent a pocket Cam Degreeing tool?
If I remember correctly it also sliced and diced vegetables.
I'm not sure who he is but I need to look up that tool because it sounds wonderful!!😂 I think my friend Brittany needs to review that tool on her cooking and mechanicing channel!!!😂😂😂
@@FayeHadley It pains me to think that there may a generation who don't know who Ron (But wait....there's more) Popeil is.
Was it pure chance that your pointer just happened to be in range of pointing at 0/TDC on the cam wheel, or did you do something before that to make it work out like that?
Hi Faye what power range you got that cam for mines at 4000 rpm
Is there NOT an issue turning the motor backward ? Shouldn't you only turn the motor forward in order to determine TDC properly ?
I need your help on this issue I have. I put my 7mgte at TDC all three marks on crank and both camshaft gears. Now the issue I have is a high rev and a slight misfire. Timing light is irratic with no rhythm. TDC mark on crank does not match with timing light. The question I have, is it possible to be 180 degrees out even with all 3 TDC matching? Could it be my CPS is 180° off?
Sup Faye?
Is this to verify your timing or to make sure your new parts are properly installed or both
It's too validate cam timing, it has a large impact on where peak torque occurs. Advancing cam timing will lower the RPM for peak torque.
I think Toyota was normally 110/110 on most of the G series engines I could be wrong. I've normally guessed Toyota was accurate in making cams so I'd only have to adjust the position when building a 7age.
Verifying TDC was to make sure that I had the degree wheel set up properly. Verifying lobe center line was making sure that I degree the camshafts to the proper location per the manufacturer specifications. In this case the manufacturer is BC camshafts! You will see in my fall about video how I move the adjustable cam gears to the exact point of the desired center line per the cam card!!
