Lobe lift at TDC.

Zero indicator on base circle, bring piston to TDC during overlap period, read what the intake lobe lift is at that point.

It makes no sense that the new cam would have vastly different lobe lift(which translates to V/P clearance) during the overlap period.

The intake lobe lift at TDC, with the cams installed at the same centerline, should be within .020.

.020” lobe lift difference, x 1.65 RR = .033” difference at the valve.

If the old V/P clearance measured .118”, the new clearance should be about .085”.

The old cams intake lobe lift at TDC, installed at 106, should be .141”.
The new cam should be .155”-.160”.

440-1 exhaust ports are raised about .750”
