When degreeing a cam, aren't you just checking the relationship between the cam shaft gear and the lobe for the #1 cylinder intake valve? I don't mean to minimize the importance of that, but does anybody go through the effort to check the timing for every single lobe? Isn't it just as likely that any of the other lobes could be off. To really be accurate and make sure all of the lobes were done properly, I would think you need to check them all to make sure that the cam was ground correctly.

Just my $.02

(Sorry Ted. I see you've already got it covered!)
