Hi Bud,

Where did you get that reading (11deg retard) ?? (The numbers on the vernier pully mean bugger all at this point)

You need to get a timing disc on the bottom pulley, Set this up to tdc and then get a DTI gauge set onto number 1 inlet valve. Take your readings from there.

The lift at TDC for the CVH35 is 0.73mm as I had the same cam in my old ZVH.

that is too much retard for the cam, set it to -5 retard untill you get it setup

You will need a timing disc and at least 1 DTI gauge to be able to set the cam up to the correct timing , have a look on you tube if you want to learn a bit more
