The book spec for camshaft lift is 0.26". I don't see a spec for  
allowable wear. I'm fairly certain that I have the original camshaft  
(a TR4). My measurements are .002" and .003" wear for lobes 1 and 8.  
Lobes 4 and 6 are .008" and .009" worn. The other 4 are .012" worn  
(0.248" lift).

There's an engine rebuild sometime in the future but for now, how bad  
or not so bad are these measurements? What's the effect on performance?

Allen
