Timing discs should all be the same, so it makes no difference which brand of timing disc you use. You should still use the 108 figure regardless of timing disc.hi im building my first engine, im am fitting a bp285 cam (i think it a piper) and just wonted to know do's it affect the timing setting when i use the kent cam timing disc, do i still add it up to 108 ????

Most Kent cams time in at 106 deg ATDC on inlets. Rover/Leyland/BMC cams all time in at 110 deg ATDC inlet.
If you have a Piper I'm not sure what it should be, but at 106 deg you'll be fine. That will retard slightly as the (new) timing chain stretches.
All protractors are, of course, the same as they measure 360 degrees.
