I’m not sure what ICL stands for, I used a new stock style timing set, so I didn’t degree the cam other than what stock was. I’ll have to do a compression test to see what it says.

I torqued all 16 nuts to 20 ft lbs just to see if the motor would run bad or not, 14/16 were basically a 16th of a turn before the torque wrench clicked. Engine runs good, I marked the pushrods and...
