Engines work best when the right things happen at the right time. For instance, when ignition spark happens too late, you might embarrass yourself on the dyno; when it happens too soon, you might end up with a scenic view of the inner workings of your block. The relationship between an engine's cams and its crank is no different. The rise and fall of the pistons has to synch up with the opening and closing of the valves. This is even more important to pay attention to once aftermarket cams, adjustable cam gears or other mismatched components, each with their own tolerances, are factored in, as well as once an engine's deck or cylinder head have been resurfaced. Even the slightest tolerance change or amount of material removed will alter the distance between the cams and the crank, which, in turn, will alter their relationship with one another and disturb cam timing. All of this makes it even more important to properly degree your cams.
