Do make sure you are doing the degree checking correctly. But it sounds
like you are. Almost always an aftermarket cam ends up half a tooth off
if just stuck in (MGB = 18 per tooth). Then... to obtain a 4 degree offset
key for the cam (crank keys N/A), call Seven Enterprises at 800-992-7007
and ask for part # SEN0051D. Keys are also available in 1, 2, and 3 degree.
Last char of the part #'s is A, B, and C, respectively.
