OK, I have 2 questions. Just to make sure, what's the ideal number of degrees of cam retardation from the stock position of the cams in the latest model EVO?
Secondly, in which direction do the cam gears turn in relation to the camshafts to attain retardation?

Thanks

 

OK, here is a sketch of the cam gear..... Is this correct?

 

This woulde be looking at the camgears with the cover removed........

 

No the other way

 

Thanks Andrew.

 

Aww... he drew a cam gear in Solidworks

 

Close but no cigar..... Try ProE

 

Funny since I use both programs every day, the gradient background made me think Solidworks, do you use Wildfire 2.0?

 

Yeah, just think about it as far as how the motor spins. When you are looking at the "front" of the motor (side w/ the cam gears) the gears, crankshaft, etc will all spin clockwise. If you rotate the inner part of the gears clockwise, you'll advance and vice versa.

 

Thought the same thing until I noticed the coordinate system note towards the bottom.....never seen that in SW before

 

Yeah, Wildfire 2.0 it is..... Sometimes I wish it worked like the previous version, I'm having problems patterning the cuts for the teeth..... I can only get 9 copies without screwing up the pattern. In that picture I made 9 patterns to the right and mirrored them to the left.... I just can't get the hang of this wildfire in some ways
