Not Ranked
Bobcowan and Jim are correct, but Jim was more articulate on the reason. I made the same mistake last year after degreeing in many cams over the years. I was helping a friend with his Shelby big bore aluminum block and the cam measured way off. I checked and re-checked everything three times and could not figure it out. This was a Thursday night so somewhat embarrassed I said let's try it again Saturday. When I was laying in bed that night it dawned on me. I have special flat tappet lifters for Fords and Chevys I made 30 years ago that are 6" tall so I can put the dial indicator right on top without using a pushrod. I used one of these in his engine. Saturday we put in some solid rollers and it checked out within a degree.
