z-block and dial guage, for cam timing Options

[echocanyons]

I need to pick up a few tools to be able to time my cams on my 6cyl. engine.

The z-block seems to be easy to find but I am having a bit of trouble finding a dial gauge. I am guessing it measures cam lift but in metric but what does it measure mm?

Is there a preferred type that will function with the z-block? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)

I asked Cap'n Krusty if he would rebuild mine.

I also picked up as set of carrera tensioners before this and I am not 100% keen about using them over the last spring tension version. I may use them on my other rebuild or maybe this one, still not sure.

I got them from GPR and he gave me what I thought was a good deal (but I don't remeber the cost)

The only thing I worry about with doing this is the cam timing.

I have read and re-read the procedures for the cam timing from multiple sources/books and this is really the part where people run into the most trouble.

With the engines being interference engines a mistake could really become costly.
