Subtract the base from the total and it will give you the lobe lift. Multiply that by 1.5 rocker ratio and that will give approximate lift. That will give you a idea of what you have. Measure it and post the numbers. Last edited by Sport440; 04/29/14 01:22 AM.

Hook up a degree wheel on the crank and a dial indicator on first the intake lifter and then the exhaust lifter on the same cylinder. Note the degree for max lift on each lobe and subtract to find the lsa. You can also check over all duration and at .050 lift. Good luck! -Reggie tobnHisglory2000@aol.com Former Mopars: 73 Charger - 440/727, 68 D200 Camper Special 383/727, 67 Satellite, 71 Superbee, 73 RoadRunner,2009 Ram Quad Cab Hemi 4x4 Current Mopars: 2005 Ram Quad Cab Hemi 4x4, 73 Cuda FE5 318 manual
