Default The Second Lesson

Here's the second lesson I've learned with my FE with the SFT cam: The "gap two valves with 90 degree turns from TDC" method does not work when your cam has 324 degrees of duration seat to seat. The only method that works for me reliably is the EOIC method. When I tried the 90 degree method the results where off as I was not on the heel of the lobe. Now, it wasn't off a whole lot, but it was off. 50 years ago that probably would have been close enough.
