   I will soon be fitting my Kent PT50 cams to my upcoming 16v conversion.
   
   I'm sure I saw on here before I got them,
   that they are fitted using std timing as they are only mild cams
   
   Is this correct?

   Yes there where at standard timing on my car, and sure I did mark the boxes with inlet and exhaust but double check when fitting as I am not 100% on that.

   You can fit to standard timing
   
   But Id have thought you would be better off using a dti gauge to tweak the timing a little more, should be spot on then. Or set at standard and get them tweaked on a rollin road

   It may well be but as with the standard cams they are designed to use standard timings, but can actually be tweaked to a better position
   So I'm sure these cams may make a difference being tweaked too

   Cheers guys.
   
   Hopefully the engine should be in a running for the Rolling Road day at NMS
   I'll see what the results are, and have a chat with the guys there if they think it need tweeking.
