I'm having my stock H22 head redone and shaved .035.
Can anybody recommend how many degrees I should advance the intake/exhaust cams and ignition as well , before I take it to dyno for proper tuning? I was thinking about 3 degrees on intake and 1 on exhaust, on ignition probably up to 18 degrees?

 

Just let the tuner decide. Ask him if he can do it.

 

thats why its called "tuning" (sorry not meaning to sound like an ***). you will figure all that out on the dyno. every motor is different, and you will need to take the time to learn what your motor wants.

 

Well got the engine running today after I picked up the head from machine shop. They milled it 0.035, put new seals and some bad guides, replace two bend velves and did 3 angle job on all of them. I was suprised with the valves, because the car was running pretty good.
I installed new 5 bolt AEM gears, advanced the intake one 2 degrees and started right away. Had a noise coming from the gears though, found out the screws on the gears were rubbing against the damn plastic cover behind them. So tomorrow gotta take the gears out again and cut the plastic to fit better and gotta figure out the steady 2000 RPM idle. I Did a great job with cutting a holes in to the valve cover and timing cover for the gears though. I'll try to figure out how to put a picture here.
