I just finished degreeing my cams and i dont know if its normal to have the exhaust cam at -7 and the intake at +2

 

That would be an unusual setting..

what camshafts?

 

skunk2 pro 1

 

I would double check it again. That does seem like an odd setting.

 

Did you lock VTEC?

 

nope

.....

 

maybe he has one of those VTEC killer cams, LOL

 

hey at least he was smart enough to ask....

 

If you just degreed in the primary's then you are about 4 degrees off on each cam, as they are 4 degrees (centerline) different than the VTEC lobes.

hello intake...why....hello exhaust

 

i couldnt switch the pins in the rocker arms so that vtec would be locked. the only pin that would come off was the pin from the vtec rocker arm . the other pin would not come off is there a special way of removing that pin so i can degree the cams again

 

do you have access to an air compressor?

Turn the rocker arm on it's side and tap it a couple of times, the pin should just fall out.

 

yes i have an air compressor but it is a small one. how many lbs of air is neccesary to lock vtec

 

i did that. i also tried to pull it out using a magnet no luck

You just need patience + diligence. If it moves when oil pressure activates VTEC, you can move it.

Amen, to that.

OP just slow down and go one step at a time. It's not that hard, and GL

 

ok i will try to do it tommorow. i appreciate evryones help

 

i just redegreed the cams now. This time i locked vtec. These new settings seem more realistic but i would still appreciate some input. I have Pro 1 cam gears and now its on the +6 line for exhaust and +1 line for intake. The car has a very rough idle and turns off after about 1 min of idling

 

Pull some fuel on your S300 @ idle.

 

if the idle gets worse by taking fuel, add a bit till u hear the engine idle better... thats if u dont have a wideband of course.

could this be because the cam generates lesser vacuum? making the idle run rich
