Alright fellas... I'm preparing to build up an engine for my XS650. I think I'm going to use a Megacycle cam, just the street cam. Considering using Megacycle's adjustable sprocket set-up as well, for ease of adjustment(I don't have a press, but I could possibly gain access to one if needed). I must mention that this is my first attempt at building an engine, ever... I have read articles and watched youtube vids for hours about degreeing in cams. I'm sure I have that part down. What I need to know is what tools you guys recommend for the job. What degree wheel will serve me best for the XS650? Piston stop? I've got the dial indicators, but all mine have magnetic bases. How are you mounting your indicator to get solid readings? Pictures of someone actually degreeing the cam on their xs would be nice. Used the search function without much luck as far as pictures go. I was hoping to find an xs specific cam degreeing lesson on the forum. I'm sure I'll have more questions about the actual process later, but I wan't to get the right tools on the way first. ANY help, advice, or constructive criticism is welcome...
Many Thanks!
