Re: [Fot] Push Rod Length & Mid-lift

[Larry Young <cartravel@pobox.com>]

Greg and Duncan are correct.  A reground cam will undercut the base 
circle and this will take you in the other direction by the change in 
the base circle radius.  For the ones I've measured the base circle 
radius shrinks about 0.10 inches for the typical TR4 racing cam.  This 
compensates for that much milling.  If you use a new blank, you can 
reduce the amount of undercutting.
