I realize that measuring the actual cam lift would be a better thing to do . .
. but it is so much easier to put a dial indicator on the top of the valve
spring retainers.


In doing so . . I know that there will be some error due to the adjustment of
the valve clearances . . . but none the less, I was wondering what sort of
differences I should see in the stroke of the valves?


One other quick question . . .  am I correct that the cam's lift is magnified
by the valve rockers?  (in other words . .valve stroke = (cam lift) x 1.6 (or
whatever the ratio is for that particular rocker arm)
