    I am looking to buy a degree wheel . . . Bryant said he can borrow one but would be cool to own one he can keep at his shop for future engine building projects or if we go with a different cam. I'm pretty sure he has the magnetic base and I know he has a dial indicator. What's a good one to buy?

    I had a mr.gasket degree wheel. Worked great and came with adapters to center on bolt.

    Just remember the larger the wheel the more accurate they are, and easier to use.

    I have a Mr gasket wheel also. It gets the job done but too small in my opinion. As mentioned bigger is better in this case.

    I agree, don't cheap out, buy a good one, and the bigger the better.
