Infinity cam timing questions
Any of you BowTech tuning gurus able to answer a question for me? Based on this picture am I measuring the gap properly for checking the timing? http://users.adelphia.net/~jeramyk/P8290014.JPG
My 03' Patriot calls for a .215 gap and based on my rough measurement it looks like I'm off. Any suggestions on a better measuring device for a more accurate reading? Also, I can see the sharpie timing lines on the cam, how should that timing mark be lined up with the limbs?
Thanks for helping a timing newbie.

RE: Infinity cam timing questions
Good question. I am also confused about where to measure the bolt from. Is it the near edge, outside edge, middle???
Luckily for me all of my bowtechs have had the marker lines and I haven't had to know where to time from. But I helped a buddy tune his 03 Extreme yesterday and he had no marks. So where do we measure from??
As far as the timimg marks go. Perfectly centered with equal amount of limb exposed before the mark on each side of the limb while looking at it from the side would be ideal. (put the limb in the middle of the marks).

RE: Infinity cam timing questions
Well, not so fast. It all depends on how it looks on the other side of that same limb. If the other line is the same distance from the other side view of the limb or very close, then your OK.
Does that make any sense?

RE: Infinity cam timing questions
Thanks again, Dave. I didn't see that there were 2 timing marks on that side of the cam. The lower mark is right on the edge of the limb. From the looks of things a very slight adjustment would be necessary to center the limb but I'm not sure if it would even be worth tinkering with.
