3D Printing a Cam Degree Wheel for Dialing in the Custom Camshaft on my 1974 Corolla KE25 Race Car

So after exhausting every other conceivable scenario I finally caved and have decided to try and dial in the camshaft on the KE25 Corolla.
I was avoiding this for a number of reasons - most of which centre around having the engine still in the car, but also because I would like to design a proper adjustable cam gear for the purpose built Turbo engine down the track, and don't fancy committing the time to that right now.
But - this engine will just no longer run so the only conclusion I can come to is that the cam timing is just way off. So rather than pay what would likely be over $250 for the parts I need to dial it all in - I decided to design and 3D print them.
I was pretty confident from the start that the 3D printed camshaft degree wheel (or camshaft timing wheel) itself would work but was a little unsure about the longevity of the 3D printed crank socket, but as you can see they both worked perfectly. It's always satisfying to 3D print or make your own tools in general, and even more so when so many people seem to spend so much of their time telling me that it wont work.
The outcome of it all was somewhat surprising - but seeing all the drama I had getting up to this point it does seem to make sense...
Either way, progress is progress and I'm looking forward to getting some turbos on these corollas.
The KE70 is also moving along at a fast pace, so keep an eye out for that, and let me know what you think of this video.
I'm always torn between how much info I actually put into these, and how much of the finer details people actually want to know / care about. So if there's something you think I've glossed over or you want to know more about let me know in the comments and I'll either reply or include it in an upcoming video. Probably both.
Thanks for watching!

Are you gonna list the timing wheel stuff on your website for us fellow Corolla guys to buy 😬

[@fatlipcollective]

I will, yep. Gotta finish off a couple of jobs and make up some stock first
