adjustable cam gear
On a 2.3 Ford with an adjustable cam gear, once you loosen the cam gear bolts which direction do you turn the crank while standing in front and using a socket on the crank bolt to advance the cam?
Thanks

It's been a while since I worked on a motor, but if I remember correctly
to advance your cam, you would turn your crankshaft anti-clockwise (counter clockwise), moving your timing mark on the crank pulley towards BTDC.
So if you were supposed to run a 4 degree advance for the cam.. I'd think you would zero the cam out / crank TDC. Then loosen cam pulley bolts, rotate crank 4 degrees counter clockwise (to 4 deg. BTDC), then lock your pulley down.
Someone please chime in if I'm wrong, (Car62, Dave, Olin, and the gang)... I'd wait til they speak before moving..lol

I believe 1 toothe = 16 deg on the cam gear
