Lee, Do you have any idea why this cam would be different than the 617 turbo cam ?
nope. i would assume it's the same.

Quote:
This is a euro model correct?
yep

Quote:
it is non-turbo, correct?
nope. it's a turbo. 1985.

post a picture of you manifold assembly that clearly shows the where each manifold meats the head in relation to the valves / cam
you're wondering if my exhaust/intake valves are in the same order as a standard 617? they've gotta be...from front, the manifolds go Exhaust, Intake, Intake...
I believe the only difference b/w a euro and domestic are that the euro has less emissions crud.

crud. i just remembered i've gotta take the SLS pump off and withdraw that funky chain rail holder, too. i hate that...

i was going to say: Regardless of the 'washer flip,' the point is to take the rockers and cam sprocket off, and then turn the camshaft to the right position and reassemble. but i guess if the washer goes back on in a way that doesn't point to the alignment mark at TDC, something is still very screwy. yeesh.
