360 cam variator and proper timing

Here is probably the most in-depth article outlining the procedure, I'm assuming you have the factory WSM to verify.

I have to ask, what was the purpose of pulling the motor?

 

I have used maranello and they are good, just need to be careful of any import taxes (if applicable).

As for timing the cam shafts, once the motor is together and running you’ll need to hook up a SD2 to monitor the camshaft values. If they are vastly different you’ll get a CEL. I believe the values should be around 660 units but that was ten years ago when I was doing services everyday.

 

If degreed correctly that will not be a problem. Every car I have degreed the cams and tested electronically the electronic measurement was perfect.

Besides only the exhausts can be tested electronically. If you cannot time them correctly what about the intakes? The correct timing of those is no less important.

 

Fully agree with the above.
