    That is an idea that I have not had time to do as of yet but will this weekend -

    I was reviewing the earlier post:

    "you posted that the cam was .498 ex lift---that will be at the valve of course and with a 1.5 rocker means that cam lift will be aprox .332------ put an indicaror on the lifter and see how much lift your getting"

    Just out of curiosity - if I am measuring from the pushrod side, I would look for .498 - yes?

    And Pat, I have been trying to find the time to call you around 9am my time so that it's around your lunch, I just have not had the time to do that from work - seems like something always comes up and by the time that I look at the clock, it's closer to 3:00 your time... By the way, I checked out your site, very nice!
