Cam Timing tool M60 Whats wrong?

I advanced both appx 6 degrees and want to retard the exhaust 4-6 from stock. I may be reading it wrong... I already advanced the exhaust, 'and the intake.

He retarded the intake 14 degrees
and advanced the exhaust 6 degrees.

Something confusing about reading his stuff, I think there is more than one error here.

Bill R! Calling you brother.

So according to his post I went the wrong way with the intake. Idonno man. Have to think about this much more.

In my workings with what I want is more low to mid range so I would want less overlap, IE advance the intake and retard the exhaust to achieve it. SO now All I should need to do is step 2, retard the exhaust. Or put the intake stock and retard the exhaust. This dual pattern cam and being able to put both anywhere you want them kinda messing up my mind.

Just posting for my own confusion.

Okay I was visualizing this incorrectly. Exhaust opens first so advancing crank degrees retards the exhaust and advances the intake.

He retarded the intake 14 degrees and
advanced the exhaust 6 degrees

So what I did was advance the cams appx 6 degrees which
advanced the intake 6 degrees and
retarded the exhaust 6 degrees.

So to get the intake right I have to adjust both intake and exhaust all over because the intake sprocket is chained to the exhaust... So do intake correct -12 degrees and tighten, then move crank x degrees to advance the exhaust to where it is right now.

Maybe, not sure. Degreeing a single cam was not confusing at all... lol
