The factory doesn't actually say (as far as I know), but I'd suspect it is
.050" lift.

In reality, I've tried to measure cams myself using a degree wheel, an
assembled head and dial indicators, and I've never had one spec out as
advertised.

"For a 4-cylinder engine, once you start getting close to 300 degrees
duration, it becomes marginally streetable. The stock SU cam is 256 degrees;
the Solex cam is 280 degrees.

Hey Gordon, is that at .050" lift?  1mm?

(BMW does it at .5mm, I think, and it gives numbers that make
the hotrodders (.050") cringe...)
