With ALL tolerences going to the "advanced" side of the entire engine operation, the engine STILL WILL NOT HAVE PTV CONTACT WITH VT STG 1 CAMS! This isnt just a couple of guys not degreeing their stg 1 cams....this is 95% of them. If you dont skip a tooth and install the cams straight up, you wont have any issues. End of story....you can quote general statements about how things work and put everyone in fear, but in reality its just not going to happen.
Iv had this debate before...guys spent hours searching ALL over the web to find SOMEONE who had PTV contact with properly installed VT's stg 1 cams. Guess what, they couldnt find one....then Scott, co owner of VT engines came in and backed up what I was saying. They recommend degreeing, just as I do...but they admit that there has been 0 cases of properly installed VT stg 1 cams having any issues whatsoever.
Look, I totally understand what your saying....but saying that noone should listen to my advice because I say you dont HAVE to degree the cams on THESE particular cams is rediculous. With all due respect, you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to these cams and their specs.
Iv been around here a while, iv seen nurmous threads accross the web with guys installing them...you have your shop and a few guys you know. You have the correct mentality in the sence that you dont have any experiance with these cams and recommend to degree them...fine.
But dont diss me and the other people like that....you dont have the specific experiance required to make that call. You have your opinion...thats it.
Any other cams and im fully with you....degree them unless you want to run the risk of PTV. With 262s there have been no cases that I know of, but since I dont follow those nor do I have any experiance with them, im not going to say that "you absolutly have 0 chance of PTV wit these cams". Im also not going to diss someone who knows about them and claims that its not required. Ill just stick to my recommendation to degree them
. Getting personal is uncalled for and wrong
