Whether assembling a street performance build or preparing a race-ready HEMI, this kit provides the accuracy and reliability needed for precise camshaft setup, saving time and reducing labor during engine tuning and modification.

Key Features

This comprehensive degree kit includes all the essential tools to simplify and enhance the cam degreeing process on Chrysler HEMI engines:

• Durable, metal degree wheel calibrated for precise cam timing measurements
• Crank socket specifically designed to fit Chrysler HEMI crankshafts for secure and controlled rotation
• Fixture and piston stop tool for accurate piston positioning without cylinder head removal
• Dial indicator with adjustable mounting hardware for exact valve lift and cam lobe measurement
• Clear, step-by-step instruction manual guiding users through the cam degreeing procedure
• High-quality materials and precision machining for long-lasting durability and repeatable accuracy
• Compatible with a wide range of factory and aftermarket cams for 5.7L and 6.1L HEMI engines

Construction & Design

COMP Cams has crafted this degree kit with precision-machined components built to endure the demands of engine assembly and tuning. The sturdy metal degree wheel features clear, easy-to-read markings for accurate degree measurements. The crank socket is engineered to securely engage the Chrysler HEMI crankshaft, allowing smooth and controlled rotation during setup.

The piston stop and fixture are designed to fit the unique geometry of Chrysler 5.7L and 6.1L HEMI engines, enabling precise piston positioning without the need to remove cylinder heads. The dial indicator includes a robust mounting system and a sensitive gauge to detect minute valve lift changes, ensuring exact camshaft timing verification every time.

Installation & Fitment

This degree kit is engineered for use on Chrysler 5.7L and 6.1L HEMI engines using the heads-off method, which means the cylinder heads remain installed during camshaft degreeing. This approach simplifies the process, reduces labor time, and eliminates the need for head removal. The included tools allow precise measurement of camshaft position relative to piston top dead center (TDC), ensuring accurate cam timing.

Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard hand tools. The detailed instruction manual provides clear, step-by-step guidance, making this kit accessible to both experienced enthusiasts and professional engine builders.
