On page 41, it states: "when you pick a camshaft for the Tiger and plan to =
use the stock flat top pistons, the valve-to-piston clearance is a limiting=
factor. The following rule of thumb should be used in picking a camshaft f=
or the Tiger 260:=C2=A0 Maximum lift: 440"=20
Maximum overlap:56 degrees. The LAT-20 Sunbeam cam exceeds the lift, but no=
t the overlap. Therefore it is usable in the Tiger with flat top pistons, p=
rovided that you are using the stock cylinder heads with original 1.67" int=
ake valves. If you are running larger valves, then even with the=20
LAT-20 cam you will probably have to notch the pistons for valve clearance.=

Could someone respond as to whether the "Performance Tuning the Sunbeam Tig=
er" book contained a recommendation on what maximum camshaft lift the stock=
260 would tolerate without valve to piston interference or whether another=
information source has that maximum lift number? =C2=A0 =C2=A0
