    If you don't get an answer, use your dial caliper to measure the major and minor diameters of an intake and an exhaust lobe. Let's say that the major diameter is 1.272" and the minor diameter is 1.000". The difference would be 0.272". Now, if you multiply that times the rocker arm ratio of 1.73, you will have the lift for that lobe.

    Anything less than 0.500" lift will be an OEM cam or a very small aftermarket cam that would be highly suitable for a daily driver-type motor.

    Try calling Chet Herbert cams and ask them about the part number.
