Has anyone seen Keith Calver's article on cam timing in the July '13 issue of Mini Mag? I had not appreciated it could be done at the valve with the head fitted instead of at the pushrod without the head. Makes perfect sense.

Those in the know, don't even use a timing disc, cam timing takes about 2mins to check one you have a true TDC point. Only need to remove the rocker cover. ANd no dial gauges needed. Just feeler blades and a small straight edge.

Havent read the article yet, is he talking about the 'equal lift' method?
If so thats a very good way to time in camshafts

No, Its about using a DTI to measure full lift at whatever degrees but taking measurements at the valve with the head fitted rather than the pushrod before the head is fitted.
