For those of you that have installed and degreed this cam - is it pretty common for the E4 to be advanced from its advertised spec of 108 degrees if installed straight up? I realize that tolerances can stack among engines and different components. When I degree this camshaft I continue to get a lobe centerline of 105 degrees. I reckon I should move off  #1 cylinder and check #6 to be sure, but was wondering what others of you have encountered with a cam that is pretty common off the shelf these days. I decided to install this one because I had a new one still in the box from years ago and it gives me something to tinker with before I get my 312 together. (more on that later )

I am using a Rollmaster adjustable set and started my degreeing process straight up just to see where the cam is at.

EDIT: 108 degrees... not the 112 originally stated.
