Brad,
Good line of thought!
It is always best to take the technical approach and make absolute
certain that geometry-wise everything will work!
The procedure is actually very simple...unfortunately the necessary
tools may not be readily available.
All that is needed is a dial indicator mounted on a magnetic base, and a
second magnetic base with a clamp to keep the pushrod straight.
Zero the indicator, turn the engine and take your reading. That's really
all there is to it!
I will send you another e-mail with the photo attached. For any others
who would like to see a photo of set-up just send me a note and I'll
send you a photo.
Best Regards,
Jim Swarthout

Subject: RE: Camshaft (worries)
Thanx to everyone that replied so quickly about the lift on the
PI camshaft. After reading a few comments that the cam could have been
reground I am a bit worried as the cam is already in the engine! Is
there any way to check the lift with the cam already installed? I don't
remember seeing any notes on the ends of it. I am looking to install
roller rockers that Jim S. has, and therefore want to be sure that they
will work....and if not, what mods need to be done. Thanx again
Brad
