No, because of the "twice-around" facet of four cycle operation, a "360 
degree cam" would still be open only half the time  Not lame at all! In fact, 
using 
a 270 degree duration to define a "3/4 cam" grind may not be far off the mark 
- in fact - it COULD even be right. I'm 67, and that expression was in use 
when I was a teenager.
