ok, this debate keeps going on a different forum, the threads even been locked and im getting private messages and even messages through aol debating weather or not im right
simple problem:
a friend went to purchase some reground cams
he measured base circle
he measured overall lobe height
he did some simple math
simple match says LESS LIFT THEN STOCK
the cam was measured in this fashion:
is there any possible way that you can do a-b=c and have a not be the actual lift on the camshaft?
the only reason i can think of is that the cams TOTAL duration is high enough that it interferes with measuring base circle (which definantly doesnt apply in this case)
a variation of this reason is that the person that did the measurements is incapable of operating a set of dial calipers (causing him to accidentaly include one of the ramps in his attempt at measuring the base circle) but said person in this case has machine shop quality control experience
