Hi Gary,
I thought some of the Pros would answer this. It's been a long time
since I've built an engine but I'll answer it and if I'm wrong, I'm sure
we'll hear about it :-)
IIRC you can tell a convex grind by looking at the tappet straight
down. The grind marks will be a circular swirl from the center point
outwards. Also, you can lay a straight edge across it and feel a slight
teeter-totter rocking motion and see a bit of light under one side of
the edge.
