    Camshaft regrind . . . hows this

    So I finally decided to get my camshaft reground. Pulled it out, sent it away and got it back the next afternoon.
    Camshaft specs:
    Inlet Exhaust
    Duration 270 Duration 280
    Valve lift .345" Valve lift .292"

    So anyway I get It back, fit it all up, and start it up-noisey as, then I clicked that I need to set the valve clearances to the camshaft specs (0.006") So I do that, run it in as required and go for a drive . . . . Yea powers up slightly, and pulls right through to 7500 rpm. But I'm thinking there should be more power, so I check the valve timing . . . . Out by 3 teeth!!!!! I'm realllly confused about how the engine is actually running, it shouldnt even go.
    So I've got it all stripped in at Honda (I work there) and going to fit new cambelt, and balance shaft belt tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well.....

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.
