Yes, but setting them up by angle is a bit trickier than setting them up using the lift at TDC method. Both work fine, you just need to add a protractor to the list of kit you need. If you have a look on the DVApower website there is a good article explaining how to set up K series cams (Exactly the same process for the T series). See if Grant will give you the lift at TDC method values too as that is usually the easiest way to set them up I reckon.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

that temp gauge looks too low to me. What temp in degrees c is it running? It's not good to run too cold. On my t16 it would run off the scale no matter what sender I put in the thermostat housing. Have you checked the thermostat is opening ok? I fitted a aftermarket temp gauge in the end for peace of mind.
