    Simple.

    Before you pull your old cam out, get a dial indicator and measure your valve travel.
    Put a degree wheel on your crank and record the intake and exhaust events using both the degree wheel and the dial indicator.

    Cruze asked how to measure a cam, Not if they were different.


    Stinger, I wouldn't put too much faith into other people's claims.
    If I had a penny for every time someone told me something was a fact when It turns out to be false, I'd be on a cruise ship sipping pina coladas. :)

    I agree but I don't believe Ray is one of those people...he's been a mechanic for more than 40 years...I think he can accurately spec out two cams ;) Of course maybe we should have Cruz do it and go by his analysis :)
